With 18 fillies lining up for this sprint handicap there are sure to be better betting opportunities than this, however, something has to win and the TEAMtalk vote goes to Richard Fahey's Love Thing. The daughter of Phountzi has, like a lot of her stablemates, been running into a bit of form recently, is fairly treated and in a tough race appeals at the likely odds. Plenty of others have claims including topweight Shararah who takes a drop in class, the consistent Smart Hostess, John Wainwright's Le Meridien who found only Bundy too good at Newcastle last time and the unexposed Bella Bequine. But as we have said we are prepared to side with the Fahey filly and she gets the nod.
