Amanda Perrett does well with unexposed runners like This Is My Song, who is fancied to have too much in the locker for Miss The Boat and Acknowledgement. The last named faced a stiffer test last time out and deserves plenty of credit for sticking to the task when his chance had gone. He drops in grade today but does need to confirm that was not just a one-off performance. Miss The Boat is related to several winners and should be able to pay her way as this season goes on. This trip is easily within her capabilities and she is one to bear in mind after she has shaken of any signs of rustiness. Which brings us to This Is My Song, whose effort behind Playful Act arguably sets the standard here. The experience of cut in the ground will help her cause and, with another year on her back, This Is My Song is expected to be very hard to beat today.
