Verdict

NYX GLUCK (3) gets Purton in the saddle today after a quiet trial since a 2.5L defeat last start when jumping favourite. Has the speed to offset the tricky barrier and the form out of his last start has been stacked up. Winkers come off now and he can land the knockout blow. CALL ME SPARKLE (2) stepped out to this track and trip for the first time last start and turned in a strong performance when 1.3L off the winner as the race favourite. Ethan Brown rides now and he's shown good versatility early in his career. Can get back to winning ways. CIRCUIT FIERY (1) got back on top of the ground last start and was just fair following a good run on the wet deck prior. Bowman replaces the apprentice hoop this time around. Can play a leading role. HONORARY (10) was too good from the front last time out and this looks to shape favourably. Can repeat the dose.
