TUKITINYASOK is given another chance to prove himself on Polytrack. His turf form is superior to anything today's rivals have achieved and Roger Fisher's gelding may have needed the run when finishing behind the progressive Advertisement here last month. Cuthbert will do well to confirm latest running with the selection, but his run behind Blue Moon here in December gives Final Verse every chance. Shared Moment looks a real threat having won two of his last three starts over C&D and Eastern Hills is another to consider if back to his best.
