Verdict

Rita The Cheetah made a successful racecourse debut over the course and distance in October but didn't quite make the expected progress when returning at Lingfield in February and has had another break. Tantastic has performed in slightly better company than this and was only beaten a length over the track and trip last month but this shouldn't take much winning so Robert Cowell's newcomer SWEET NOTHING may be good enough. She's very speedily-bred being closely related to five winning sprinters and her dam is from a very speedy family. Pretty Shiftwell looks best of the remainder.
