FIRESNAKE has the edge at the weights over those with a handicap mark. Rated 77, he found only one too good over 7f here last time. Invigorate, Threebagsue and Mrs Bojangles are closely matched on today's terms and were all placed on their latest respective outings with the latter making most appeal on her length defeat at the track. We Are Ninety is a half-sister to a winner on the all-weather and worth noting on her debut.
