Verdict

FLASH CURRENT (1) disappointed last start but is better than what he showed there when beaten 5L. Purton now hops in the saddle following a sound trial recently. Needs some luck from the draw, but has been fancied in his past couple and looks to have found his race. ZETTA FORCE (12) can roll forward and put himself close to the speed as he has done his past couple. He went close two back before a 3.8L defeat last start at this track and trip. Still an improving type through and can bounce back to his best. EXCEL WONGCHOY (3) disappointed most recently but has trialled well since that performance. His effort here two back was great and Bowman sticks from the recent trial. Drawn well and can return to form. RIDING TOGETHER (2) can put himself on the speed and give a bold sight once again.
