Verdict

BLAZING WIND (5) hasn't been far away in recent events and now gets Purton in the saddle, who is unbeaten when partnering this gelding. He'll be well positioned from the barrier after not having much luck from the inside draw last time out. Can get into the clear at the right time and return to winning ways. AURORA PATCH (3) settled close last start from the wide draw and wasn't beaten far at this track and trip. Bowman remains in the irons and he won't have to work as hard from the better draw today. Wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. IGOR STRAVINSKY (7) took up a prominent position last start and landed the knockout blow when scoring by 0.3L at the top of C4. He was competitive in this grade before the drop back in Class and he carries no weight today. Nicely placed again here and can repeat the dose. PI LEGEND (6) led and won here 18 days ago with the apprentice on board. Now gets Moreira and a drop in weight. Include.
