Verdict

RISING FORCE (4) continues to show plenty of talent despite missing by 1.3L at this track and trip last time out, jumping the race favourite in this grade. Now Purton hops on board from a good draw where he can settle close to the speed. Will take plenty of beating in this suitable assignment. TURQUOISE VELOCITY (5) went to Happy Valley two back and failed, but bounced back to form on the All Weather circuit last time out. His record at this track and trip is strong and he should take up the running. Rates highly in this field and he can get the job done. YOUNG CHAMPION (3) has trialled well either side of a 1.5L defeat last start when settling way out the back. Should be within striking distance in this field and his best form should see him hard to hold out. SKY TRUST (1) comes back in grade today and appears well placed if he can find his best form.
