Strong early tempo with Superb Capitalist and Happy Fat Cat leading the way over Brave Star. HAPPY FAT CAT (8) has been back to the trials since making it back-to-back wins over this course and distance 35 days ago. He's hit a purple patch of form and maps for an easy lead off the inside barrier. Rates highly off his latest efforts and will take plenty of catching once again. BEAUTY INFINITY (6) has been around the mark since winning three starts back and has had an easy trial since his latest outing. Zac Purton hasn't missed the placings when riding previously and he still has plenty of upside. Expected to be right in the finish once again. HAPPY DAY (9) was working through the grades nicely before a disappointing end to his last campaign. His recent trials have been just fair, but the form from his last campaign makes for good reading. Live chance if he can recapture that form first-up. BRAVE STAR (3) has won both trials in readiness for this and has to be included.
