No recognised leader engaged but Jungle Warrior possesses enough dash to take advantage of a low draw and take it up. PAPER DOLL (10) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in all four runs this preparation and should find this assignment to her liking. Gets the services of Melbourne Cup-winning hoop Dolan in the saddle and can go one better against this line-up. POSSIBILITIES (12) placed over this course and distance when resuming and looks to be on the doorstep of a maiden victory. Has the talent to test this field. BLACKJACK (5) wasn't too far away at Sandown on debut before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Tuned up for this with two trials and can run a big race while fresh. The well-related WAR KING (8) (half to G2 winner Positive Peace) will be ready to peak third-up and hails from an astute barn. In the mix. MARITIMO (7) makes some appeal despite the sticky barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,12,5,8.
