Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Warrior Smile to take charge ahead of Eton Affair at a strong tempo. Tricky little race to open proceedings. SALTY PEARL (3) brings the best form on paper, third in a G3 race at Morphettville last time out. She was beaten 5.5 lengths there by a couple of smart ones and pays the penalty with 57kg as a filly but clearly has good ability. MILLENNIUM BLADE (2) comes through a strong race here on debut behind Prince Tycoon who is a chance in the G2 Brc Sires at Eagle Farm later today. Expecting that form to hold up. WARRIOR SMILE (1) has the most race experience with four starts. Back in trip here but should give a sight. THE REAL MAN (6) is the pick of the newcomers. SUGGESTED PLAY: Salty Pearl to break through.

Useful colt. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 12 at Flemington 2yo Hcp on May 17 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Highvol carrying 58kg at $13. The start before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 10 at Flemington in the LR Anzac Day Stks on April 25 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Highvol carrying 57.5kg at $10. Back in trip but will take running down.
