Verdict

LIGHT YEARS CHARM (2) bumped into a smart one last start who has since won again, jumping the odds-on favourite there and going under by 0.2L. Purton sticks and he draws a better gate this time around. had a quiet trial since that effort and if he can run up to recent form, he can go one better. ANOTHER WORLD (4) looks well suited in this event, dropping 3lbs for a 1.3L defeat last start at this track and trip. Purton hops off, but Bowman takes the ride now and he maps beautifully. Can make his presence felt once again. JUNEAU PRIDE (1) is hard to knock on recent form, beating home Another World last start when sitting on the speed from a wide draw. Draws better this time and he can give a bold sight. GENTLEMEN LEGACY (5) brings good ratings from Australia and has moved well at the trials coming into this. Can make an impression.
