Verdict

BEAUTY SHOW (4) is building toward a maiden win, leading last start and just missing by 0.5L. He's since trialled well and Purton sticks with him from his latest trial. Has the speed to roll across from out wide and can notch up his maiden victory this time around. GRAND NOVA (1) got the job done when beating Beauty Show last start when running over the top to score at this track and trip. He's trialled well coming into this and drawing away from the fence should suit him better this time. Can go back-to-back. JUMBO BLESSING (11) hasn't been far away in recent efforts, as he still aims for his maiden win, beaten 2L as the race favourite last time out. Moreira remains in the irons and a forward showing is on the cards. HARMONY FIRE (8) is ticking along nicely, missing out narrowly to Grand Nova last start. Wong's claim comes in handy and he won't be far away.
