War Ribbon is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. WAR RIBBON (3) was solid first up at Wyong over a similar trip in higher grade and strips fitter with the perfect draw. Upside stayer with a kilo less. Hard to go past. TAJAWAL (2) will benefit from the first up run and raced in stronger company last campaign. Gets in at a weight he’s rarely carried. All set for sharp improvement. BALMIERRO (1) fits into the down in grade up in weight category at a trip that suits. Failed as favourite last start but previous efforts were sound enough. Can bounce back. DESERT BLOOM (7) put in a stouter effort second up and is bred to improve as she stretches out in trip. Gives away experience to all of these but must keep safe with blinkers going on. ANULFA (4) looks to be suited at a staying trip from here on. SUGGESTED PLAY: War Ribbon straight out. Boxed exacta 3-2.
