Verdict

PACKING GLORY (1) missed as the favourite two back before bumping into a good winner last start over 7f at this track. Back to this track and trip now where he's never missed the placings. Expecting him to roll forward, utilise the claim of Yuen and be in this for a very long way. ACE EAGLE (5) is on debut today with Purton sticking from the trials, winning his latest heat on the All Weather surface here. He maps to get every chance from the draw for Purton and and he can play a leading role if he runs up to his trials. FORERUNNER (2) missed by 2L at Happy Valley last time out before winning at the city circuit most recently when coming on strongly from the back half of the field. He rates highly on that effort and looks well placed from a good draw today. Can repeat the dose. SUPER DRAGON (13) comes here off a couple of trials where he's looked good. Should appreciate the firmer footing today and can improve with the blinkers going on.
