Verdict

NORTHERN BEAST (4) looks set for a bold effort despite a 3.3L defeat last time out at this track and trip. He jumped the race favourite there but was a little plain once he got into the clear. He's had a trial since that effort and getting away from the inside looks a key to his chances today. Purton sticks and he can get back to winning ways. YOUTH POWER (10) was just 1.3L off the winner last start on the All Weather, though he is a track and trip winner previously. He has the speed to roll forward from a tricky barrier and if he can run up to what he did last start, he'll go close. INCREDIBLE MOMENT (6) just missed two back before a disappointing performance 10 days ago at Sha Tin. Comes to The Valley now and stretches to 1 m for the first time. In the mix. TOP TIME (1) is better than he showed last time out and can improve on that performance.
