God's Speed is likely to prove popular having finished runner-up at this track last month. But he never looked like catching the winner and HALLOUELLA is just preferred. She was unfancied for her debut over track and trip in October but ran well until fading in the closing stages behind winning stablemate Sbraase. James Tate's filly should have improved in the meantime and with the remainder hard to fancy, she gets the vote to open her account.
