Third Base should find the front with I'm Opinionated and The Warrior on his heels. EMPRESS TSARINA (3) was stretched to 1450m at Muswellbrook last start and turned in the worst run of her five to date. Back sharply in trip but the heavy going should take the edge off some of her rivals. Big chance to finally break through. THE WARRIOR (1) raced handy but weakened late on debut last start over this distance at Newcastle. Won't find this quite as tough so expect him to be highly competitive. On-pacer I'M OPINIONATED (7) has led for home at her last couple but found one better on each occasion. Back in trip today and likes the sting out of the ground so she will probably prove tough to catch. THIRD BASE (2) did a good job on debut at Muswellbrook recently. Can play a big role with natural improvement to come. Dundeel debutante ROCKADEEL (4) is trialling well for local trainer Rod Northam. Will need more ground eventually but at this stage she should give a good account. SUGGESTED PLAY: Empress Tsarina to bounce back and win.
