Verdict
Sky Warrior gets the confident vote here with High Gear and Gastornis rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Good Man Again and although having a penalty for that win he looks progressive and he is taken to win again, although he would look vulnerable if there was significant rain. High Gear rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Garnett but he has had plenty of chances off similar marks and again he looks vulnerable. Gastornis is another that could go well on his latest second behind Honest Endeavour but he is another that would not want much rain. Of the remainder Denvale may get an easy lead and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Sky Warrior who looked progressive last time out.
