Sweet Pickle handles an artificial surface well and is fancied to be a touch too resilient for Tacid and Outrageous Flirt, while Chickado can also go close if she is in the right mood tonight. The last named is another with a consistent record on the AW and a market move would be dangerous to ignore. Outrageous Flirt can take advantage of a 3lb lower mark than her current turf rating. However, her ability to handle the surface needs to be taken on trust and she looks vulnerable here. Tacid is a previous course winner and comes here in good heart. The drop back to seven furlongs shouldn't be a problem for her and she rates as the main threat to the selection. However, Sweet Pickle has much more solid form to her name and, considering she beat the vastly improved Cashel Mead off level weights at the start of March, the Piccolo filly looks to have been very well placed in a race where she basically sets the standard for the rest to aim at.
