It will be a surprise if Susanna's Prospect isn't up to landing this fillies' handicap and she is taken to get the better of Baltic Belle and Dansil In Distress. The selection hails from the Brian Meehan yard and she put in a much improved effort to finish second to Nicomedia in a similar race to this last time. If she can show nominal improvement again then she should prove tough to beat. Baltic Belle has failed to win in 12 starts so we are beginning to lose patience with her but she has gone close several times so there is no doubt that she has the ability to get competitive today. Dansil In Distress finished narrowly behind our selection last time and if she shows improvement she should also make the frame. Support Fund is from a yard in form and she could go well at a price, but Susanna's Prospect looks the most likely winner and she gets our vote.
