Verdict

INTRUDER (2) gets the nod, coming off a nose second at this track after leading to the turn and backing up a narrow third here on soft ground. His record at this track and distance is a genuine advantage, and the apprentice claim helps him carry the 132lbs. GARINION RIGH (4) brings strong track-and-distance credentials and has been placed at her past two, so the return to this distance suits. BETA BETTER (6) arrives in winning form and showed plenty of grit last time after racing wide, and her narrow BM60 second at this venue two back keeps her firmly in the winning discussion. ASK ME MATE (5) hasn't won for a long time but is knocking on the door and deserves inclusion in the multiples.
