Verdict

Narrowly siding with YES WE ARE (3) who looked very good winning first up at Sale over this trip, backed into $2.05 there and showing a sharp turn of foot to go on and score by two lengths. This is a bit harder but his form last time in around the likes of Job Done suggested he's right up to this. ANGEL LADDER (8) resumes. She was running in some good races last campaign. She's won a jumpout leading in and has the speed to kick up from the low gate. Should take catching with the 4lbs claim. SYMPHONY OF COLOUR (4) is with a new yard here but gets Lane on first up which is a good sign and she has ability. MR MAGNUS (2) hasn't fired at his past couple but this is a drop in grade and his best is up to winning this with the right tempo up front.
