Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneOCEAN WARRIOR was well beaten when 4th in a sprint on debut but built on that when stepped up to 1600m last time out. On that evidence, he should make further progress over the extra 200m and, as such, rates the horse to beat. UNIVERSE BOSS wouldn't be winning out of turn after a few narrow misses, although riding arrangements among the Crawford runners suggest GRAND ESCAPE is preferred, despite the widest draw. WORLD SO HIGH may have needed his last start and have more to offer with improved fitness on his side. EXCEEDER, JACK AND GINGER and GLOBAL APPROACH have earning potential too.
