Verdict

ISSY'S STAR (1) good mare who wound up strongly in the heavy (10) going first up for a narrow second over 5 ½f at Gosford. Look for her savaging the line in this weaker contest. Go close. DIRTY DOES IT (8) has his hoof on the till and due for a change of luck on the backup. Closed strongly to finish third over 5f at Taree. Leading contender. THE WARRIOR (3) handy gelding who finished third last start but was beaten only 1.5 lengths over 4 ½f at Newcastle. Key runner. DON'T (2) couldn't back up at the second run of the campaign last start over 5f at Port Macquarie after winning two back at Taree. Can atone.
