Verdict
Although this is a tougher assignment than Fall In Line has faced in his last two starts, he has not been over faced in coming here and he could be too progressive a rival for this bunch of rivals today. Phantom Stock, Lazzaz and game old campaigner Easter Ogil are others to consider as shortlist material if the betting indicates a negative vibe about Sir Mark Prescott's charge. While a move for the ex-Irish Munafrid will be interesting if he is strongly fancied for a place. However, Fall In Line has yet to be asked a serious question in his last couple of outings and he fits a typical profile of a runner from his yard as one to stick with until his penalties become insurmountable. A third quick run is the only negative in Fall In Line's profile, but assuming he is over his exertions, he is the one they all have to beat today. Phantom Stock has to conclusively prove he handles this track so Easter Ogil could be the one to give the selection the most to do.
