Verdict

HAPPY BOSS (8) got back to winning ways last time out as a $14 chance when carrying the top weight in an easier race last time out. He's shown plenty of talent early in his career and he's trialled nicely since his latest effort. Maps beautifully from a good draw today and can bring up back-to-back wins. AEROVOLANIC (2) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start as the race favourite when beaten by a good one here 28 days ago. The winner of that race has since won again and Purton sticks with Aerovolanic today. Will need some luck from the draw, but he's good enough to return to winning ways here. EVERYONE'S STAR (1) just missed over this course and distance when behind a subsequent winner, beating Aerovolanic on that occasion. Moreira remains in the saddle and he makes plenty of appeal in this suitable race. ALL'S WELL (7) can't be discounted after a narrow defeat here last time out.
