Verdict
TIGERFISH finished well ahead of Luna Magic when scoring over track and trip in December and scored again at Kempton last month - she’s worth sticking with in her current mood. Music Major had been threatening before well beaten behind runner-up Apex Predator and the latter had earlier beaten both Arlecchino's Arc and Sark at Kempton. Top Rock Talula won at the latter track before struggling over 2m but Tesorina attempts today’s trip for the first time after finding one too good over 1m2f.
