Verdict

KING OBERON (12) just missed two back but went one better last start when scoring comfortably by 1.3L at this track and trip. He's up in grade today, but he drops 9lbs with the rise in grade and he maps to get his chance. Racing in top order and can go back-to-back. RAINBOW SEVEN (6) has shown some class early in his career, finishing just 1L away in his past two outings. He was in the market last start but just couldn't reel in the first two, though he continues to improve. Finds a suitable race now and can land the knockout blow. RUBY SAILING (14) is another up in grade off an impressive win, scoring by 1.3L over King Oberon at his latest start. Britney Wong remains in the saddle, giving him some weight relief. Should adopt similar tactics from the favourable barrier and can repeat the dose. BULB GENERAL (5) was solid from the back on debut and was spelled following that effort. Had plenty of trials in readiness for this and he can feature with Purton on board.
