FOREIGN LEGION ran well in second when backed here on Tuesday and has a big shout if turned out again quickly with Shane Foley taking over in the saddle. Ecoeye is respected as a ready last-time-out winner, while Plum Perfect has been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper and won't be far away if recapturing the form she showed when second at Gowran in July.
