Sweetsformysweet can prevail in this maiden and she gets the confident vote over Millisecond and Laura's Best. This filly hails from the Jeremy Noseda yard and his string are in particularly good form at present. She shaped with plenty of promise on her debut here when she chased home Marozi and if she build on that then she should prove tough to beat. Millisecond ran well for a long way in a race won by Expensive Art last time and on the evidence of that run she will be seen to better effect over 5f. Laura's Best may have needed the run after a lengthy absence from the track at Thirsk last time, so she could be of more interest now that she has that fitness edge. Fleuret has got some ability but she will need to improve to get competitive; all of which returns us to Sweetsformysweet as the most likely winner.
