Verdict

Multiple Stakes winner TURK WARRIOR (1) resumes and flies fresh. Has won 2/4 at this course /trip and maps well. A bold run is likely. TSUNAMI SAM (2) was beaten 1L first-up at this level and then led and dropped away in the Newmarket at Stakes level. This suits better and he's proven third up. Comes back 100m and has genuine claims. PRESS FOR BOOM (6) resumes and the promising mare has won 4/4. She's trialled well and Pires sticks from those. It's a step up but she can keep improving. The veteran GALENUS (4) has needed the two runs back and has won third-up. Uses the rail and Newitt is a key jockey switch. May control the race and will give a sight.
