Verdict

HE'S MY WARRIOR (1) consistent gelding who comes back in grade for this and his best form is over this trip. Rattled late from near last on the turn with a narrow fourth over 6f at Tamworth in BM82 class. Winning apprentice retains the ride and can race a touch closer from the good gate. Hard to hold out. FAN HARDER (7) showed ability over further in Highway grade last time in and looks to get a better set-up today with the key jockey change. Assess on his good first-up run behind Brutal Belle at Scone. That form has since produced a city winner. Leading contender. IRISH JIG (2) and ZOUCRATIC (4) have both progressed in recent runs, culminating in last-start wins. Both must be respected.
