PURPLE PROSE (3) Just missed last run at this track and racing over a longer distance. Won't be far away during the run. Going well this preparation but racing against tougher rivals. Can have an impact. STAR BALLOT (2) Placed 2nd last time here but challenged by more formidable competitors. Should be swooping on the field late. Goes down in weight. Key player. POSSESS (5) Felt the pinch when 5th last run here but facing stiffer opposition. Should muster plenty of early toe. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Deserves consideration. PROSERVE (1) Shot clear to win by just short of 5L last time here but competing at a higher level of competition. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.
