Verdict

KING PROFIT (7) won well two back before stretching to this track and trip and missing in a photo finish. Carries more weight here, but Purton now hops on board and he maps to get a kind run in the race. Should be handy from the outset and will take catching. TARGET AUDIENCE (4) was far too good here last start when winning by 1.8L under Joao Moreira. This looks to set up similarly and he only rises 4lbs for the win. Should be able to lob just off the speed and can bring up back-to-back wins. HONEST WITNESS (8) led them up last start but couldn't hold off the winner when ending up 0.5L from the winner. Wong rides now, taking 7lbs off so he'll carry no weight. Should be up front from the outset and will take catching. POWER KOEPP (6) was too strong from the front last start and can repeat the dose.
