Race 4 (1,400m)
13 Travel Glory caught the eye last time, flashing home third. This contest appears suitable with no weight on his back.

Race 6 (1,600m)

Race 7 (1,200m)

4 Happy Together is lightly raced but has shown sharp closing speed across his short career. Purton hops up and, with a clean run, he is the one they must beat.
6 Ching is a two-time winner from his last three starts. With further progress, he should continue his upward trajectory.
