Sophie's Girl won well enough last time and should go close in her follow up bid, however we just prefer the chances of Eager Diva, Speed Song may prove best of the rest. Kevin Ryan's charge showed plenty of promise in the spring with solid efforts in two decent maidens. A mark of 75 looks pretty fair for her handicap debut and if fit from a three month break she should go close. Sophie's Girl beat the Ryan trained Wotashirtful last time out. She was all out to do so and may be vulnerable off her current mark. Speed Song has to give weight away all round but has claims on her comfortable Yarmouth victory last month. Aaim For Applause is looking well exposed but does boast some decent efforts and may do best of the others, however we will take a chance on the fitness of Eager Diva and she gets the verdict.
