Verdict

This tight-looking race poses an interesting puzzle. The otherwise interesting Enflame has a stamina query to answer at this trip while Mo Ment has a fine course record. However, POETS WARRIOR is taken to get the job done here. He can overturn the form with a few of his rivals and is going for his seventh course success.
