Verdict

SWEET DIXIE (6) finished second at her most recent outing, beaten 2.25 metres when trying to lead all of the way, in a nice return to form at this track over 1 ¼m when second-up from a break. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. RESURGENT WARRIOR (7) won at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1m at this track, beaten 5.5 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Big chance if things go his way. IDEN OLIVER (8) comes right into contention after using the sprint lane to score last start by 2.25 metres at this track over 1 ¼m. JAMES CAGNEY (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1 ?m at Launceston.
