Verdict

GALLANT DESIGN (6) is flying home recently, missing out by 1.3L at this track and trip in his past two assignments. He's knocking on the door of a maiden win and the inside draw this time is a big tick. Sat closer last time out and if they adopt similar tactics, he'll be hard to hold out. INVICTUS DRAGON (2) is another who rattled home over this track and trip last time out to score by 1.3L in impressive fashion. Purton remains in the irons and he draws the best gate he's seen for a while. Up in weight now but it wouldn't surprise to see him go on with the job. CIRCUIT FIERY (1) stuck on well as a $3.10 favourite last start on a soft track most recently. He can roll across from out wide and Yuen's claim comes in handy. Will give them something to catch. LUCKY MAN (12) has to be included on his past couple of efforts, with his form tying in through Invictus Dragon.
