Verdict
Overwing, Limonia and Pragmatist look the three to concentrate on in this fillies' handicap and we will side with Overwing to land the prize. This filly looks to be on a handy mark at present and she lost no caste in defeat when finishing a close third behind Sweet Pickle at Windsor last time. She will again try and trailblaze here and if she gets an easy lead she could be hard to peg back. Limonia ran well enough last time considering that she raced for much of the race on her own down the centre of the track. Pragmatist can be forgiven a disappointing effort last time as she did not handle the soft ground, and she had shown plenty of speed on her previous two starts. Others that can be fancied include John Best's 3-year-old fast-finishing filly Hucking Hope, as she was a little disappointing last time but we fancy this filly to buck the trend and she has solid each-way claims. This is quite a competitive contest that can go the way of Overwing.
