---|---|---|---|---|
Another mile event lacking much in terms of early pace. I AM THE WARRIOR may be able to show something more in a weak race. The gelding has only been battling away in three runs so far this campaign, the latest at the Sunshine Coast. He should at least be at his peak fourth up and is drawn to receive all of the favours. HIGHTOWER has been fair of late which is all that's required to play a lead role here. While he hasn't been in the finish recently, I AM THE WARRIOR can change things around here. He's run some very solid races over this trip. He won't need to go a long way back in this field either. He needs to strike now. HIGHTOWER did lead all the way this course and distance in August. It is about as far as he wants. Can go better than at Esk. SPANISH EYES probably needs more ground and so this may help. Has some different gear changes today as well. KEL'S SHADOW may need a wet track to show his best. He's in very light after the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet I Am The Warrior. He could be able to recapture some old form in this field.
