In depth
Verdict
Agent Louise was put up 10lb after winning over course and distance a couple of weeks ago but is an out-and-out stayer so a follow-up is not out of the question. But Rocky Stone and MOSCOW PRESENTS had been knocking on the door prior to pulling up last time and either of the pair could bounce back. Preference is for Shane Shortall's mount, who was only beaten a length-and-a-half over track and trip on his penultimate outing. Mister To Mister could go well now given a thorough test of stamina but Debt To Society is looking a shadow of his former self.
