Expecting Bottomuptogether to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. Good race. BOTTOMUPTOGETHER (4) comes onto the All Weather for the first time today, but he's trialled impressively on the surface on a number of occasions. He was beaten by a smart one last start, but Purton remains in the saddle and he'll be close to the speed. Can go one better this time around. SELF IMPROVEMENT (5) sat on the speed two back to score before a disappointing effort last start at this track and trip when never in the race. Suspect from an inside barrier they'll set the tempo again as that's how he performs best. Can give his rials something to catch down in the weights. COPARTNER PRANCE (1) is another coming onto the AW for the first time, but brings in Group form which stands out. Carries top weight but deserves to and can make his presence felt. SING DRAGON (6) is better than he showed last start and can bounce back to his best form.
