Verdict

ROBOT STAR (1) won well two back before stretching up to the mile for the first time last start and finishing 2.3L off an impressive winner. He,s since been back to the trials where he's moved well and Purton sticking with him is a positive sign. Racing well and can return to winning ways today. FORZA TORO (3) missed in his last two before going for a freshen, beaten 1.3L at his last start at Happy Valley. Bowman hops on board now after partnering him in his past two trials. Needs some luck from the barrier but his latest performance says he's good enough. MEGA MASTERMIND (8) sat on the speed here last start and just missed out on the win, beaten 0.5L in a strong performance. Drawn out again here, but his form has already been franked. Can find the front again and be hard to gun down. GLORIOUS SUCCESS (5) missed in a photo finish last start and has to be included on the back of that effort.
