Verdict

RAINBOW SEVEN (5) finished off impressively from midfield to get the job done by 1L as the race favourite. Purton hops in the saddle today for the first time and he maps beautifully from a good draw. Rates highly on the recent form and he can continue his winning run. JOLLY COMPANION (4) disappointed last time out when beaten 4.3L at this track and trip after a good run of form prior to that. He'll need some luck from out wide, but Ho remains in the saddle and he can return to winning ways. HOLMES A COURT (9) turned in a better performance last time out when 2.3L off the winner at this track and trip. This looks a similar assignment and Bowman remains in the saddle. He drops 2lbs here and will take some catching from the front. DIAMOND SPARKLE (3) creates some interest coming here on debut after showing some ability in his latest heat.
