Verdict
The night of sprints concludes with Scommettitrice seeking a four-timer in less than a month. It goes without saying that she's in high form and may well oblige again but seems sure to start at prohibitive odds and JUST FOR MARY is a value alternative. The Loughnane gelding has been performing solidly in fair northern handicap company, is a C&D winner and has no ground issues. A latest effort when a staying-on Doncaster third to Sir Geoffrey was a good performance too. Spic 'n Span has done most of his winning on Fibresand but he's in good form at present and receives a healthy weight allowance all round.
