Verdict

Having won this race last year, VITAL ISLAND ran a cracker when fifth in a better race over the banks in November and a brace of point wins of late should have him spot on for a follow up. De Nordener was well behind the selection in the 2022 renewal but he's in top hands and won't lack for assistance form the saddle, with Jet Fighter another to consider.
