WARRIOR BOY (1) ran on late behind a runaway winner here last out when finishing runner-up. He is knocking on the door, and will carry 3kg less this time thanks to a claim. He is meeting a very modest lineup, and gets his best chance to break through for an overdue win. PRIVATE TREATY (4) is another who is well overdue for her first win, and her recent form is very good for a race like this. Our only query would be the jump up from 1400m to 2200m, but she is still a top 3 hope. FRIENDOFTHEDEVIL (5) ran on late over 1600m here last start when settling back from a wide gate early on. She is likely to settle a lot closer to the pace this time, and she is expected to be right in the finish this time. AVIVA (6) was very disappointing over this trip last start, but she is better than that, and can make amends in this sort of field. SAINT (3) is having his second start from a new stable, and he is not the worst top 4 chance at odds.
