Verdict

SKY VINO (7) led the field up last time out but couldn't hold his rivals at bay, caught at the post when beaten 0.2L. He draws out this time which is the query, but Moreira remains in the saddle and he's a winner at this track and trip previously. Can go one better this time. TALENTS AMBITION (1) will get a long way back from the wide draw but missed in a photo finish at this track and trip 35 days ago. Purton remains in the saddle and he's sure to be thundering down the outside late in the race. SWORD POINT (3) doesn't boast the best recent form, though he did jump a $4.70 chance here five starts ago in a tougher race. He seems to improve sharply when he gets onto the All Weather surface and from a middle draw, he can return to his best. SUPREME AGILITY (14) carries no weight today for the rise in grade after flying home his past couple. Makes plenty of appeal.
