      Verdict

      ALSHAN FAJER has finally discovered the winning touch and followed a belated first victory with a further success over track and trip last time. He gets the nod despite carrying 6lb extra and should confirm running with Investissement. Lady Lunchalot had a decent shout when sent off favourite here last time but made a mess of it while today's longer trip may prove a problem for both Bennelong and If I Were A Boy. Whinging Willie can figure off his current mark and the returning Reality Show is not badly weighted if at his best.
