Verdict

GORGEOUS VICTORY (11) has the race fitness and recent form profile to take beating after finishing fourth at this track, beaten a length and a half, when close to the top of betting. He is still chasing his first win, but his consistency at this venue and the return of Zac Purton give him a strong platform. SMART FAT CAT (13) resumes as the main danger, bringing repeated C4 placings at this venue and a sound record at this track and distance, though he has also had a few chances to break through. JOLLY BRILLIANT (1) returns off a last-start win at this track, where he scored by a neck as favourite, and his proven 1m record keeps him right in the contest despite the 134lbs. ACE (2) can improve second-up after being tightened at a key stage when sixth over 7f, and his record with Jerry Chau makes him a genuine winning threat if he sharpens off that run.
