Pace looks to be genuine with Warrior Head and Castelvetrano matching motors in advance of Final Voyage and O'caldino. O'CALDINO (2) showed some ability when trained in Victoria and has needed time to mature. He has since joined the local Edmonds/McLean stable and was given a quiet trial on the track late last month. He meets a very even field but if the gaps come his way, he can finish over the top of his rivals. Use the market as your best guide. WARRIOR HEAD (4) was beaten by a head fresh up and then zoomed home from well back to finish sixth at Ipswich 10 days ago. He has a handy gate and has each-way claims again. FINAL VOYAGE (10) is steadily improving with racing and battled away fairly well here 2 weeks ago. She is a 5-year-old mare only having her third career start and should be ready now to show some worthwhile form. Include in all multiples. TORERA (19) finished third fresh up on this track 2 weeks ago and won a trial before that. Stick with her, despite a wide gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: O'caldino each way.
