Kondakova will appreciate this faster ground and can go in here and can take this handicap, with Charlotte Grey, Rosie Cross and Stir Crazy also likely to go well. The selection has won on both fast ground on turf plus the polytrack when slightly faster than standard, so she will certainly appreciate the conditions here. She never looked happy with juice in the ground at Yarmouth last time, but this is her favoured trip and she looks capable of winning. Charlotte Grey is 1lb better off with Rosie Cross for a head defeat last time at Wolverhampton over 5f. The former is perhaps better suited to this trip though and looks capable of reversing the placings now. Millisecond drops back in trip but it remains to be seen if that is in her favour, while Stir Crazy is fully 17lb better off with Charlotte Grey for a two length reversal at Wolverhampton in April and showed signs of a return to form last time, so he may be the big danger to our selection, Kondakova.
