Wide open. SWIFT ACTION improved with blinkers on last time over 1000m at this level and could get involved with a repeat of that effort. ALL LIT UP won a stronger race over track and trip recently with POLTERGEIST and MASKED VIGILANTE finishing behind. However, both rivals are better off at the weights and capable of turning the tables. CHAMPION WARRIOR justified market support when winning on debut over course and distance. He's open to any amount of improvement so is marginally preferred. SUPERIOR LEADER, PASHTUNWALI and CAPTAIN'S KNOT have claims too - preferred in that order.
