        Verdict

        Station Island is taken to score with World Vision and Maraud rated as the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Good Lord Murphy by an easy 12 lengths. He escapes a penalty for that win as it was a conditional jockeys' race and with with conditions again in his favour he is expected to go in again. World Vision could give him the most to do on his latest third behind Web Master. He is still very green so may need a little more experience and the likelihood is that he will have to settle for place money. Maraud was a fair third behind Ken'tucky last time and is another that could go well but he is not guaranteed an easy lead here and for that reason is opposed. The remaining runners have shown very little of late and are readily opposed and we make Station Island the confident selection.
