      Verdict

      Twitch Hill can make fitness tell over Time Share, with My Tiger Lilly best of the remainder. Another small field assembles here, and on the strength of a comeback third to Nordic Light over the course-and-distance three weeks ago, Twitch Hill is selected. That initial effort of the year came after a six-month break on what was her handicap debut, and it will be a surprise if she does not take a hand in the finish with conditions to suit. Time Share has only raced on the all-weather to date but should not have a problem adapting to Turf, and has shown a modicum of ability, while My Tiger Lilly has an absence to overcome, but ran well to be fourth to Spinning Crystal in a nursery over track-and-trip on her final outing in September. She makes more appeal than stablemate Blue Mistral, but the selection just has to be Twitch Hill.
