      Verdict

      Flip Mode won over track and trip last week when catching Equally Fast on the line with Bellevarde and Show Me The Bubbly further behind. The runner-up re-opposes on better terms today and may well turn the tables but the same can be said of AQUADABRA. The latter was beaten by Flip Mode when third here back in April but Chris Mason’s mare can take advantage of a big turn around in the weights if first-time headgear has the desired effect.
