        In depth

        Verdict

        A couple of these faced tougher tasks last time including Engrave, who finished second over track and trip and can figure again. But THE BAY WARRIOR (NAP) was beaten only a neck over course and distance a fortnight ago and Mark Usher’s charge gets the vote dropping down a couple of grades for this. Kardinya gets a change of headgear as he steps back up in trip while better was expected from Star From Afarhh last time and cheekpieces are applied.
