Verdict

STAR BROSE (2) gets the nod after going under by just under a length as favourite at this track, when held up early in the straight before closing strongly to be nearest on the line. Purton goes on, and he looks well placed under this scenario. KINGLY DEMEANOR (5) has been close at both runs this campaign, following a Happy Valley second to Golden Fortune with a half-length fourth at this venue, and his two wins at this track and distance make him a genuine danger. GOLDEN FORTUNE (3) has already beaten Kingly Demeanor and Ocean Impact at Happy Valley and was only beaten just under two lengths last start, with one win and one place from four starts at the distance. OCEAN IMPACT (9) returns from a five-week let-up after making ground for fifth at Happy Valley, and his third-up profile gives him enough scope to improve into the winning mix.
