Verdict
#7 California Bay keeps Purton after their close third at the course and trip from barrier 12. Barrier 4 gives them a much better platform this time, and there does not look to be much speed on paper, which should see him land handy and get every chance. #12 Gastronomique has been hitting the line well in his last two runs without being beaten far. He did not get the clearest passage last time when ninth, beaten two and a half lengths, and it was an encouraging effort to build on. #3 Chill Partners is trending the right way after a solid third-up second behind Crossborderdude. #1 The Absolute drops back into Class 4 where his better form sits, and his second-up seventh last time was better than it reads. He does settle back, but a kinder draw can help him find cover and improve his map.
