        Verdict

        ISHIKAWA made a winning return to the Flat when scoring over a shorter trip here last time. Today's distance should be no problem for Alan King's charge and he's taken to confirm running with runner-up Hurakan. Winning hurdler Teak scored on his debut for current connections over C&D recently and another bold bid looks likely from him while Landesherr is a winner on the Flat in Germany and may be capable of better as he's lightly-raced for his age. Kieren Fallon takes over on Media Stars and the latter has won off a higher mark on the Polytrack before.
