Verdict

Greenandwhitearmy was well beaten when runner-up over the course and distance in July but was well supported when going one better last month. A 5lb rise shouldn't be too much of a burden and another big run is expected though runner-up Mr Moondance should get closer on slightly better terms. Our Brian has won twice around here but has run poorly the last twice though in better company after scoring here in June from today's rival Santa Anna, who has yet to win a race. LETS GO AGAIN has been improving gradually and makes her handicap debut so Philip Fenton's filly gets the nod to gain her first success.
