Verdict

GHORGAN (8) turned in an impressive run at this track and trip 22 days ago when narrowly beaten. He draws a better barrier this time around and things look to shape nicely for him. Rates highly on his latest effort and can get the job done this time. INVICTUS (10) was beaten just under a length first-up at Happy Valley and now gets Purton, which gives a lightly raced maiden a serious winning push. CHILL PARTNERS (2) returned with a sharp third at this venue, has already won at this track and distance, and can hold that form if he repeats the first-up effort rather than his plain run two back. SHOTGUN (11) was third here two weeks ago and his one win and two placings from five starts at this track and distance make him a sound danger with Matthew Poon back aboard.
