Verdict

ANDALE ANDALE (2) building a good winning CV and relished the class drop with a comfortable victory over 6f at Warren. Went under narrowly here three-back in this grade and looks hard to beat again in the small field. READY AND LUCKY (5) due for a change of luck and has a good record here. Savaged the line when third over 7f at Newcastle in BM64 class. Tricky map today and will need luck. Each way. HE'S MY WARRIOR (1) returns from a 32-day let-up. Gripped on late from the wide gate when third over 6f at Quirindi in BM74 class. Kept up to the mark with a 5f trial placing. Worth thought. ORSUM (10) gets in light with the claim and can improve off the close-up fifth over 6 ¼f at Gunnedah. Goes well here and can overcome the sticky gate.
