Verdict

JEDI SPURS (2) looks the one to beat after jumpiung favourite ahead of a smart one fresh, despite finishing 2L away. The 7lbs claim helps offset the 132lbs impost and he still has a stack of upside. The tongue tie goes on now and if he can improve with the fresh run under his belt, he'll be hard to beat. ALMIGHTY WARRIOR (1) has to bounce back from a plain first-up run, but his earlier Griffin win over Jedi Spurs at this track reads strongly - although that was on a soggy track. Zac Purton goes on though and he ticks plenty of boxes. HAPPY PEGASUS (6) makes his debut from barrier 4 with Jerry Chau claiming, and the Hanseatic gelding profiles as the newcomer most likely to make an immediate impact. SAINT JOSE PATCH (8), a NZ$200,000 Ready to Run buy by Home Affairs, has a wider draw but gets a 3lbs claim and enough pedigree appeal to be respected on debut.
