Verdict

MASTER PAYMENT (2) has gone under narrowly in both runs to begin his career, missing by 0.8L over 5f on a wet deck last time. Out to 6f now looks a good move and Purton remaining in the saddle is a big tick. Can sit handy from the inside and go one better this time around. BETTER AND BETTER (4) missed by 0.3L at this track and trip 21 days ago to continue his strong run of recent form. He has options from the barrier and his recent figures look strong against his rivals in this field. Wouldn't surprise to see him return to winning ways. SKY DEEP (1) is first-up from a 441-day break, but he's trialled on three occasions coming into this, including around some handy types. Moreira's booking is a good push for his chances and it wouldn't surprise to see him back with a bang. VIGOR FLY (3) is on debut today and looks to have found a suitable race.
