Verdict

Rated 79, XIAN EXPRESS makes a quick reappearance having came up just short over track and trip three days ago. But he should make no mistake today given Final Legacy is impossible to recommend on such unfavourable terms and Rocketeer makes his debut. Already gelded, the latter is a half-brother to a winner on the Fibresand though will need to be well above average to come out best on this occasion.
