Verdict

AURIO (7) is racing in good order, finishing 1.8L off the winner at Sha Tin most recently. Purton remains in the saddle today and he drops 2lbs today. Maps for a beautiful run in transit and this shapes favourably for him. Can get back to winning ways. FLYING WROTE (9) got the job done two back before a 0.3L last time out when a $3.50 chance. The wide draw this time around is a niggle, but he does possess some early speed. Can go one better. STORMING DRAGON (11) flew home from the back last start as the $2.90 favourite and that form has already been franked. Likely to get back from the draw again today but he rates highly on that recent effort and he can put his best foot forward. SOVEREIGN FUND (4) is better than he showed last time out and can return to form with Bowman hopping in the saddle.
