Verdict
It took 14 attempts for Scorpion Black to open his account and he has something to prove over this longer trip judged on earlier efforts having scored over a mile here with Mountain Fox back in third. A Few Bob Short won over track and trip last month but Iron Blue and Coolbawn Magic filled the places, with last year’s winner Lizard Point well beaten, and the first three home are hard to separate in this. PILLMAKERS HILL has tumbled down the weights and is creeping closer as a consequence. Narrowly beaten in a tougher contest over course and distance last time, he may prove good enough with a similar effort.
