Verdict
X Rated could go well off his current mark but Bayston Hill has struggled since scoring over track and trip in December. Mac O'polo is usually in the mix without getting his head in front but Scoones was successful here last year and will be winning again soon on the evidence of a close-up fourth here last time. PRESENCE PROCESS landed a double over a mile here at the start of the year and returned a clear winner over course and distance last month. He looks worth sticking with in his current form despite a further raise in the weights.
