Verdict

COLOURFUL WINNER (3) drops back to C5 today and gets Purton in the saddle on the back of a very impressive trial most recently. He's still a maiden after 17 starts, but this looks a suitable race for him and he was close to knocking over the maiden in tougher company last season. Looks poised to strike here. BLING BLING GENIUS (4) is another who drops back to Class 5 today after getting a long way back in his recent efforts over this course and distance. Bowman takes the ride now and he's expected to sit much closer this time around. Looks well placed and can shed the maiden tag. TEAM HAPPY (8) sat on the speed last time out and finished 1.3L off the winner as a $19 over this course and distance. The inside draw can see him close to the speed once again and a repeat effort will see him go close. MY FLYING ANGEL (7) flew home last start and draws a better gate this time around. Can put his best foot forward.
