Purton started Wednesday night's meeting with a four-win lead in the standings and with Moreira going winless on the night, Purton edged a further win ahead after steering Highland Fortune to victory in the final of nine races on the card.

Purton has moved to 128 winners for the season with Moreira on 123.
