      Verdict

      MEETINGS MAN and Cam Hardie have been making hay on Turf but Al Brewer's seven-year-old is also effective on the Polytrack and won't be fazed by the step up to 2m having already won over course and distance. He does compete off a career-high mark today but couldn't be in better form and should take all the beating. Underwritten is also climbing the weights and taking on better company today while Monday's Windsor second Admirable Duque is also upped in grade. Story Writer should give a good account, however, and Rosie Rebel has the past form to figure.
