Verdict

BIG RETURN (2) flew home to win two back and repeated the dose last time out to score by 0.3L when settling midfield. He's had a quiet trial since, but he's building nicely in his recent efforts and this looks to shape favourably once again. Can bring up the hat-trick now. JOLLY BRILLIANT (7) finished behind Big Return last start but did jump favourite in the race, settling well back and just missing. He's likely to be behind Big Return in the run once again, but he gets a weight swing in his favour and he probably has more upside. Can turn the tables. BEST WORLD (9) finished off strongly on debut on a wet deck here a fortnight ago, ending up 2.8L off the winner after being well back in the run. The form out of that race has stood up and now Purton hops on board. Can improve with the rise in trip and a forward showing is on the cards. LUCKY TWIN STARS (1) is next best coming back in grade today.
