Verdict

SIR HERRIDAH (7) was an impressive maiden winner first-up over 5 ½f at Dubbo then found 5f at Muswellbrook too sharp for him last start. Looking for this distance now so a return to form is on the cards. HE'S MY WARRIOR (1) went to the front in a foreign role for him and kept going to score a dominant victory when resuming over this trip at Tamworth last time out. Saves his best for 6f. Big chance again in an easier race. MY ANGEL SHELL (5) missed the kick and was never a factor when fresh from a spell over 5f at Scone recently, the first run since transferring to Jane Clement. More at home over 6f and with better gate manners can play a key role. THE MYSTERY GUY (10) hasn't won for about four years so his eye-catcher at Dubbo last start should be taken in context. Exotics only. LORD OF THE SUN (2) did a fine job winning over 5 ½f at Armidale last start. Getting up in the weights but cannot be overlooked.
