Verdict
The fillies look to have the upper hand on these terms. Stop The Wages went close in a maiden contest at Nottingham last time and should figure again but SPEED FREAK is just preferred. She was only caught in the closing stages over 6f in a handicap here a fortnight ago and Ralph Beckett’s charge is fancied to hold on this time dropping back to the minimum trip. She has a bit to spare at the weights with recent Ffos Las winner Zebspear and the remainder look to have even more to find if they are to figure.
