Sensational L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner Legal Eagle is the new R2,5 million Gr1 J&B Met favourite and was priced up at 15-10 by Hollwoodbets.net for the big one earlier this week, with Justin Snaith’s Dynasty duo of Futura (22-10) and Legislate(11-2) next best.
Light The Lights – the 66 to 1 looks value
The Gr1 Paddock Stakes winner Smart Call has also breathed new life into trainer Alec Laird’s Met hopes and she is fourth fancy at 12-1.
Glen Kotzen and owner Hugo Hattingh may be licking their lips at the 66-1 still on offer for Gr2 Peninsula Handicap winner Light The Lights, after he was unconsidered at 250-1 earlier.
The weights were published on Monday for the big race to be run at Kenilworth on 30 January 2016.
