Strong tempo assured with Enterprise Legend, Mystery Lad and Castlebar Road rolling to the front. ANDALE ANDALE (10) exciting mare heading in the right direction. Shouldered the big weight again for a comfortable win over 1280m at Muswellbrook in weaker class. Undefeated at the trip and looks ready for this with the big weight drop. Hard to hold out. TOUGH GUY (9) has continued the good form from last prep and a win looks imminent. Motored late for a close-up third over 1100m at Scone. Best figures measure up and can race closer from the low draw. ENTERPRISE LEGEND (3) consistent gelding in career best form. Taken to the front and never headed with a gritty victory over 1100m at Scone. Must be included with the 4kg claimer retaining the ride. HE'S MY WARRIOR (14) trained locally and deserves another chance with the big swing in weight. Anchored with the 61kg when a month between runs, finishing sixth over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Value player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Andale Andale looks hard to stop in this rich vein of form.
