Verdict
Warrlin steps up in trip in a bid to put an end to a frustrating run of near misses. He is still open to improvement and if he copes with the trip he will be hard to beat. Emperor Ross has shown that he has ability and could run Warrlin very close if his reported breathing problems do not resurface. Camp Hill and Glengolden appeal best of the rest.
