Verdict

MASSINI MAN has a fine record at this course and wasn't disgraced in a better race than he need contest when third over C&D last time so gets the nod over fellow veteran No Regrets. So They Say made her second chase start a winning one last time and is also respected from a 7 lb higher mark.
