Verdict

SABRINA HALL (6) was a beaten favourite off a wide draw at Ascot Park last time out when settling too far out of her ground there nearly 3 weeks ago. She finally cops a decent gate fourth up from a spell, and she can bounce straight back into the winner's circle here. Follow your money. INTERCEPT (10) unleashed a big run from off the pace to score by a neck at Ascot Park. She is up in grade, but drops in weight, and is good enough to win this as well. JESSIE JAY (7) set the pace but faded in the run home when the jockey felt something was amiss with her action. The boots go on, and she is worth another chance. ACCIDENTAL TOURIST (1) will be having only his second start for the Dennis stable, and he can be a quick improver in this sort of field. MORE SASS (5) has been mixing her form, and put in one of her better efforts when finishing runner-up at Gore 11 days ago. A repeat of that effort has her in the finish here. Include in all top 4 combos.
