Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. A good race. TURK WARRIOR (1) went close in a Quality and then deserved the win here in this grade. Keeps a handy and always puts in. He can go on with the job. GEEGEE JET BY (4) was narrowly beaten behind the above and will be better for the outing. Races forward, and the in-form Darmanin goes on. A threat. GALENUS (2) was beaten 1.2L in the same contest and will also be fitter. He can't be ruled out. WARICA (6) brings different formlines and will carry just 51kg with the claim. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Turk Warrior.
