Verdict

WARRIOR FOR PEACE (3) above average gelding who stretches out to this trip for the first time. Scored a dominant win three-back in Highway class over 1 ?m at Randwick. Far from disgraced from a wide gate with a game seventh over 7f in the Country Championships Final at Randwick. Bred to get the trip and will take holding out. AUSSIE NATION (7) rewarded for his consistency with a fighting nose win as fav over 1 5/16m at Gosford in BM64 grade. At his top now and gets the right set-up for this. Sure to be thereabouts. GRANDINI (5) has gone to a new level as she's stepped up in trip. Chasing her third win from the last four starts after savaging the line with a sound win over 1 5/16m at Wyong. Placed here early in the prep and not to be underestimated. KING KIKAU (2) tough old stayer racing in career best form. Rounded them up with ridiculous ease over today's course and distance with the 131lbs at latest. Stepping up a level this time and must be considered. The chances don't end there.
