PURTON ALL SET TO GO GO GO

RACE 1 (1,800M)

1Go Go Go has been racing consistently for a Class 5 horse this season. With the benefit of gate 1 and champion jockey Zac Purton remaining in the saddle, this race looks his for the taking.

4 Fruity Warrior has been itching to win his first race this season after two promising second-place finishes. Third-up now, he should be primed for this.

3 Nice Birdie receives a jockey upgrade with Hugh Bowman taking over the reins from a 10lb (4.5kg) claiming apprentice, which will help his chances on his second attempt back in Class 5, where he performs better.

5 Fury And Gold donned blinkers for the first time last start and showed improvement in the headgear during a trial leading into the race. However, he raced wide and had excuses. Each-way claims.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

4 High Rise Power is ready to win after his last-start third at this course and distance. Gate 2 will provide a perfect run in a race with good speed engaged, and the recent stable change to Dennis Yip has sparked improvement.

7 Gallant Goody gets Purton in the saddle from gate 3. He has been improving steadily since dropping into Class 5 and looks ready to get into the money.

11 Patch Of Watch is an interesting runner, as he continues to win trials by big margins, but is yet to show up on race day. His chances should improve back in distance and with a better-judged ride.

8 Super Joy can be slow to start, which is why he has placed more than won. But if the pace is on to suit, he will be making a late bid.

RACE 3 (1,650M)
