LE PURPLE (15) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Likely improver with strong prospects. PUNTERO SOLO (5) is a consistent performer with two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Continued the trend last start when third over 1600m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GREAT AND SPLENDID (8) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. GENIO GENIO (13) was close to a maiden win before a six months break, finishing off with a placing over 1600m at Palermo Turf. Expect he has come on over the break. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
