Verdict

AEROVOLANIC (4) has bolted in his past two, sitting handy and running away to score by 2L in this grade last time out. He rises in weight, but he looks a very nice horse on the way through and Purton remains in the saddle. Needs to negotiate the wide alley, but he's good enough to bring up the hat-trick. SKY JEWELLERY (1) was the early HK Derby favourite before a bleed at the trials getting ready for the 4YO Series. Now over a year off the scene, but he's had four trials in readiness. He's a classy type however and it wouldn't surprise to see him resume on winning terms. URANUS STAR (7) sat handy here last start and couldn't hold off the winner when beaten 1L in a solid performance as a $34 chance. This looks to shape similarly, so expected Ferraris to roll across from out wide and be in this for a long way. PERFECTDAY (9) draws nicely stepping out in distance today and is sure to be in the finish.
