RUTHIE BABE is the call in this nursery with Mijas Playa and Secret Millionaire others to figure on our shortlist. The selection was not disgraced behind Waveband at Wolverhampton having ran into the monsoon like conditions as they entered the turn. She has plenty of early pace and that may be enough. Mijas Playa is a previous winner at the course. She has been on the go for some time so the handicapper has plenty of idea as to her merit. Secret Millionaire looks to have a touch of class. That is reflected in the burden of 9-7 though it does appear as if he has finally got the hang of the racing game. True Red is in off a feather weight and connections have booked one of the best lightweights in the game. Leleyf won at Warwick when allowed to make all. The drop down to five is something of an imponderable against a better level of opposition. Ruthie Babe rates best having considered the alternatives.
