Despite the draw favouring the high numbers here, all the speed appears to be down the nearside and we will side with MISS DAAWE in a competitive heat. Brian Ellison's filly likes it here and on fast ground, having taken a similar race from 5lbs lower last month. Dale Swift's claim could prove very useful and we will side with the pairing. Comptonspirit relishes conditions and acts well over both 5f and 6f. Despite being high enough in the weights he should go close. The same applies to Musselburgh winner Arriva La Diva, who has never won on ground faster than good and is just taken on. Caranbola and Midget are both exposed but capable, though Miss Daawe is preferred.
