Strawberry Fair let down connections last time but is given a chance to atone at the expense of Zathonia and Supamach. The Goldolphiin filly was well supported on her seasonal outing at Chepstow but could only finish fourth behind the Barry Hills trained Game Dame. She may have been in need of that outing and we may see a much improved performance this evening. Zathonia finished runner up to Flashing Blade at Nottingham last time and the form was given a boost over the week-end with the fifth home taking a handicap, she will be a big danger to the selection. Supamach did well to finish fourth in a hot maiden at York last time and should also be in there at the death. Best of the newcomers may be John Gosden's Liberty Flag, but we will stick with the form horse and pick Strawberry Fair.
