Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for the last on the card and the principals look to be Johnston's Art, Lord Of The Land and Cosmic Case and we will take a chance on Lord Of The Land. The ten year old was a good second behind Alpine Hideaway last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Johnston's Art rates the main danger on his latest second behind Hill Port but he took a lot of driving on that occasion and the step down in trip is not sure to suit. Cosmic Case is another worthy of consideration but he has never won over a trip this far before and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Lanzlo has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Lord Of The Land.
