Verdict

PATCH OF STARS (1) got the job done narrowly at this track and trip last time out with Purton in the saddle. He draws inside this time which may see him sit a touch closer in the run and he's still a horse on the rise. Can bring up back-to-back wins. LUCKY FIONN (3) won here two back before stepping up to the mile last start and disappointing at this track. He's had a quiet trial since that latest effort 48 days ago and can return to winning ways back to the scene of the crime. INNO CENTURY (12) was solid last start at Happy Valley and now steps up to this distance for the first time. Andrea Atzeni remains in the saddle and he's trialled well since his last run. Ticks a few boxes drawn inside and he can shed the maiden tag without surprising. SMILING COLLECTOR (14) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to form.
