Purton | 13 | 3.1 | 5.5 | 1.9 | Star Form:Just won at $33 from midfield carrying a feather weight on his local debut over 1,600m, then was an unlucky sixth from carrying 15lb more before producing a one-out, one-back win.

Mile should suit. --5 | |

PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
It's a wide-open Classic Mile. The exciting Little Paradise steps up to 1,600m but has clear untapped potential after making it three wins from four this term following a rallying Class Two success over 1,400m. He must have claims despite a new rider. Boom prospect Invincible Ibis has quickened nicely to win his past four of five starts this term, including two on the bounce over today's 1,600m, and will make it close on the wire. Highest-rated Sagacious Life just got the better of the very honest Soleil Fighter after a one-out, one-back run carrying top weight last month for a second win from three local starts over today's 1,600m. He must offset a wide draw but does get in well at the weights and is the pick of Zac Purton over many other quality rides. Public Attention has finished in the mix in all three local runs and the return to blinkers, which he wore to a Group win in Australia, may see him take the next step higher. Gate one should also help.
TROUBLE IN RUNNING
LITTLE PARADISE (K246) jumped only fairly - Race 341.
BEAUTY BOLT (K491) shifted in on jumping and was bumped - Race 343.
CRIMSON FLASH (K173) raced very wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 352.
INFINITE RESOLVE (K369) between the 400M and the 250M was held up for clear running - Race 341.
PUBLIC ATTENTION (L035) raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event - Race 341.
WINFIELD (K446) jumped awkwardly. Making the first turn near the 900M lay in towards the running rail and became unbalanced. Rider stated that after leading the event his mount gave ground in the Home Straight and would derive a fitness benefit from the first up performance - Race 320.
AKASHVANI (K234) rider advised that the instructions were to go forward but not necessarily lead. He said when his mount showed good pace in the early stages it was able to lead without having to be pressured to do so - Race 363.
TOP DRAGON (J481) bumped shortly after the start. Near the 700M raced in restricted room. Approaching the 400M was disappointed for clear running. For a short distance near the 200M was held up for clear running - Race 320.
CIRCUIT GRAND SLAM (K201) jumped only fairly. Rider reported that he initially had a trailing position behind a runner. He said when another runner shifted out near the 800M his mount was obliged to race very wide and without cover thereafter which resulted in it not being able to run on in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 344.
SHANWAH (L123) jumped only fairly. Rider reported that making the turns in the middle stages his mount lay out towards a runner and did not appear to appreciate racing around the Happy Valley circuit. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 292.
WINDLORD (L184) was slow to begin. - Race 320.
POPE CODY (K313) over the concluding stages made contact with a runner - Race 364.
TRACKWORK HIGHLIGHT
Sagacious Life looked really good in winning his latest Sha Tin trial and is at the top of his game.
