SONG TO THE MOON finished with a wet sail to make a winning comeback over 1500m and a 4-point penalty isn't likely to prevent him following up, especially as this extedned trip will be more to his liking. Fellow last-start scorers DUBBELOSIX and PINOT GRIGIO are younger and progreesive rivals who should remain competitive, despite their resultant penalties. However, a bigger threat to the selection could come from stablemate WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN with this sterner test of stamina likely to unlock improvement.
