Verdict

STORM MIRROR (6) didn't feature on debut but was better for that effort when turning in a strong performance over 5f last start, closing nicely. He's since trialled well for Purton and he sticks with the 3YO today as he steps out to 6f for the first time. Can notch up his maiden win now. BULLISH NOVA (4) comes across from happy Valley where he finished 1.5L off the winner last start after settling well back in the run. The bigger track may suit him better today and if he gets a touch of luck from the barrier, he can be storming home late in the race. POSITIVE SMILE (1) disappointed last start but was out to 7f after a strong performance at this track and trip two back. Yeung reunites with him as he comes back in grade today and things look to work out nicely for him. He can bounce back to his best. SWAGGER BRO (11) has trialled well coming into this and can feature on his return from a break.
