Urban War heads this 20-runner Gowran Park contest on good-to-firm ground over ten furlongs, rated narrowly ahead of Brewel Hill and the remainder of the field, with that modest edge providing a slim but genuine case for selection. Brewel Hill, Chapel Island and Dancing Steve represent the most credible dangers in a competitive and open-looking handicap, and with confidence in the outcome understandably tempered by the size of the field, the result could go several ways. That said, Urban War's superiority over the principals on our figures, even if modest, gives him the call. **Urban War** is our selection.
