August Rush to take charge ahead of Battle Warrior at a strong tempo. TIME AND RHYTHM (11) much better performance when back in grade to finish a narrow second over 1000m at Canberra. Gets the gun run today and can hold a forward position. ULYSSES BLUE (8) capable on his day and both wins have come first up. Penza sticks in a winnable race and can get over the top of these. BATTLE WARRIOR (9) was beaten 9 lengths into ninth at the second run back from a break in a 1150m contest at Beaumont (Newcastle) at his latest appearance. His best form is over this track and trip. VEREEVA (5) caught the eye here three back when second over the 1000m. Shuffled back along the inside and never got into the contest when sixth over 1020m at Moruya. Can sneak into the minor money. YOU WISH (3) not far away first up and has more to offer in this easier contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,8,9,5.
