Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Mohawk Warrior, Grey Power and War Council to control the tempo. GREY POWER (7) held on well to finish second last time out over 1250m at this track after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and expected to feature again. GERALDINE'S WISH (8) last appeared when successful by 0.6 lengths over 1000m at Atherton 11 weeks ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Has a decent record at this trip with seven minor placings from nine tries and is a key contender. WAR COUNCIL (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running eighth at this track. Should be further improved and is worth one more chance. CYCLONE COCO (4) holds genuine claims second-up off a strong first-up effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grey Power gets the nod.
