A wide open contest and Pearl Warrior will have his supporters as he bids for a four-timer but this is tougher and it may pay to take a chance on the lightly raced MUJID who took a step in the right direction last time. Melburnian bumped into a progressive filly last time so is another who needs to be taken seriously.
