|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo early with Colourful Baron, Fastpass and Golden Fairy to vie for the lead. COLOURFUL BARON (1) was only caught late in the race at Happy Valley, leading throughout before ending up 0.5L off the winner. Zac Purton remains in the irons and while he's never raced at this track and trip, he did jump favourite over 1800m here two back. Racing well and can get the job done this time. JOYFUL CHAMPION (6) ran over the top and pulled away in the straight for an emphatic 2.3L victory. That was on the All Weather over 1800m, but it's hard to ignore the way he did it. Looks to get every chance from the inside draw and can repeat the dose. GOLDEN FAIRY (8) finished behind Colouful Baron last time out but that form holds him in good stead. Can be prominent in the run again and is sure to put his best foot forward. ARTHUR'S KINGDOM (7) hasn't won for a long time but is not to be discounted on recent efforts.
