Verdict

BLAZING WIND (9) is in strong form, finishing 2.3L off the winner over this course and distance 17 days ago. Purton hops in the saddle now in a good push for his chances and he maps to sit much closer than what he did last start. Purton's won when riding previously and another forward showing is on the cards. ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (12) was on the quick turnaround last time out, finishing off strongly on the turf course 10 days ago. Teetan hops in the saddle now and he may be able to take closer order this time around. Will be hard to hold out. WONDERSTAR (2) bounced back to form last start when back to the 5f around Happy Valley. He's never won on this surface, but has been placed 3/6 and maps for a lovely run from an inside barrier. Can be in this for a very long way. MUST GO (3) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and loves this track and trip. Not to be discounted.
