Verdict

SHE'S GOT TEETH (9) was a beaten favourite last time but did jump sharply in trip so not disgraced to go down narrowly. Fitter for it and chance to atone. CASSIE'S LAD (4) led and tried hard when runner-up in a small field over this track and distance last start. Can be in the finish again. CATS QUARTERS (10) comes off a win on a heavy track and if she can handle the step up in trip she could go on with it. FIGHTING MAGNUS (1) and TIWI GIRL (2) are coming off wins and can be included.
