Verdict
Captain's Log has been in good form of late and this looks to be his grade now but he may be worth taking on as his best form is with slightly more cut in the ground. Linus looks the one to be on he ran well in a handicap last time over two miles and if he copes with the drop back in trip he looks the one top beat. Indefinite Stay could run well at a fair price with the stable coming back to form. The remainder will have to improve to score.
