PURPLE CIRCLE (5) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1000m at Belmont Park, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Big chance based on that effort. VERVAIN (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when prominent at the bend, finishing 0.6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. POETANDIKNOWIT (3) debuted three weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1100m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be thereabouts. I KNOW NOTHING (7) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Peter Fernie. By Maschino from Perspectiva. Trialling in good style and looks forward enough. Top-three chance.
