Verdict

SUPER DRAGON (9) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten by just over a length, over 6f at this track when fresh from a spell. He has trialled since then, and Zac Purton keeps the faith from that trial. On top. SALON S (2) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 6f at this track last time. He jumps 11lbs since that run 6 weeks ago, but has won a trial since then, and can repeat the dose. TURIN CHAMPIONS (3) made progress last start to finish second over 6f at Happy Valley. He looks well placed and can go one better. MOTOR (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish out of the money over 7f at this track nearly 5 weeks ago. His recent trial was good, and he can bounce straight back into the money here.
