Verdict

PANTILE WARRIOR (9) has been thereabouts his past couple, solid last week at Flemington when sticking on for fourth. His overseas form suggests he wants every bit of this trip now, he'll take catching. XTRA RUSH (2) is a progressive 5yo who was just run down late last time. 1 ½m looks okay for him, he'll give a sight. BERGASUN (4) has won two on the bounce and has claims up in grade. THE WESTERN FRONT (6) wasn't quite at his best last time in Sydney but was far from disgraced. Boasts peaks that measure up and reunites with Stackhouse. Don't take lightly. KURAKKA (7) is building nicely and won't be bothered by the rise in trip. Not dismissing.
