Verdict

LIGHTNESS OF MUSIC (1) was trending the right way last season before pulling up with blood in his trachea at his last start. He's since trialled soundly and Purton hopping on board is a big push for his chances. Can sit handy from the outset and be tough to reel in back to a C4. RAPID PHANTOM (2) scored a good win at the end of last campaign over this track and trip. His recent trial is a bit of a query, though Yuen knows him well. Can pick up from where he left off last campaign. RUBY THRIVE (8) ended last campaign on a positive note over this track and trip and has trialled nicely coming into this. With two trials under his belt, he'll be very forward for his return effort and he can get the job done without surprising. SILVER SPURS (7) disappointed last start after a good win prior when leading throughout. Can bounce back.
