Verdict

CIRCUIT CHAMPION (6) showed plenty of ability in his debut season, flying home late to just miss at the end of last season. Purton's been with him at the trials coming into this and he hit the line strongly in his latest outing. He's a lightly raced 5YO with some upside and a forward showing is on the cards. AEROINVINCIBLE (4) won three of his last six before the break and has trialled very nicely coming into this. Atzeni wasn't on board for the trial, but he reunites with him here and all five of his wins have been at this track and trip. Can sit handy and land the knockout blow. BABY SAKURA (5) relished the soggy going at the end of last campaign when getting out to this trip. He won his latest trial and has stacks of upside coming into this season. Drawn to get every chance. LUCKY SAM GOR (1) can resume on a positive note.
