Seasons Estates, Windermere Island, Manic and Gasping are the four for the shortlist in this fillies' handicap and the vote is given to Gasping. The selection was a good second behind Mollzam at Wolverhampton over 6f on his last start and he had previously run well in defeat here. He is clearly in good heart, he is lightly-raced and he looks the percentage call. Seaons Estates is a course and distance winner and she did nothing wrong last time out, but she may be a little high in the weights now and for that reason we will take her on. Windermere Island won well last time at Brighton but she may be better over a mile and although she will again run her race here we are happy to take her on. Manic ran well over 6f last time and is equally at home over this trip, so she could go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Gasping.
