Verdict
Takitwo gets a solid shout in the finale, with his biggest dangers given as Simpsons Ross and Ollie George. Takitwo showed promise before winning here over seven furlongs on his handicap debut and can make a bold bid to follow up. Simpsons Ross keeps suggesting ability and, having been dropped two pounds for a fair Lingfield effort, is respected. A first-time visor could be interesting for handicap debutant Ollie George. Mujelle has it to prove on Turf. Jill Dawson is one to look at in the betting, but Murrumbridgee did not look an easy ride last time. Finally, Oasis Sun gets a maybe rating as this is such a modest race, one in which Takitwo us taken to score.
