        Verdict

        DIAMOND COTTAGE beat tougher opposition than this when successful over track and trip last week and is taken to defy a penalty. Astrophysics placed at the same meeting here having earlier beaten previous winner Our Man In Havana by a head over the minimum trip. Quarter Blue and Rhubarb are others upped in distance having posted better efforts last time while Connie's Rose has placed here on her last couple of outings without threatening the winner on either occasion.
