Verdict

RED BRICK WARRIOR (1) comes back in grade today after finishing off well over 1 m at Happy Valley 21 days ago. He's shown some glimpses in tougher company and has more upside than his rivals being just 8 starts into his career. Should appreciate the easier company and finds a suitable race. ORIENTAL SURPRISE (10) finished off well over 1 m at Happy Valley and Purton sticks with him as they return to this track and trip for just the second time. He remains down in the weights and rates highly on his recent form. Can go one better. PERFECTO MOMENTS (11) missed in a photo finish at this track and trip 38 days ago and gets more in his favour this time. He's still down in the weights but draws the best gate he's seen in some time. Should be handy from the outset and looks a leading player. FRANTANCK (3) is better than he showed last start and his recent trial was solid. Can bounce back to form.
