      Verdict

      Robbie Scott should appreciate this longer trip but Mark Johnston's colt would need to improve on the form of his two previous starts to trouble Musical Land, who gets the vote with Irish Poet rated the best of the rest. The selection has performed creditably in all four starts so far, promises to stay this far and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open his account. Act Sirius was well held on his debut, while Chookie Hamilton does not look good enough. A bigger threat then may come from the once-raced Irish Poet but Musical Land has an obvious chance and he gets the vote.
