Verdict

KANDINSKY (6) can atone third up and break through. Two runs back have been good, beaten the barest of margins at Seymour first up before a costly third at Bendigo when backed into $1.60. He's been given time since then and is well up to winning this. CRYPT (2) comes off a nice return at Sale when getting back and charging into second over 5f. Up in trip suits better and he can prove very hard to hold out. FRENCH ACCORD (7) ran well on debut at Bendigo when bumping into a smart winner. She can improve off that and has claims. ILUSTRIOUS WARRIOR (4) comes over from SA in solid form and is in the mix.
