Wonderfillo has placed in three of four starts to date but hasn’t raced since July and Pure Shores is weighted to come out best of that pair having placed at Kempton last time. But MIDDLE CREEK is less exposed than both of the above, despite having come up short when sent off favourite at Newcastle on her debut. The Gosden filly should finish closer with normal progress and is also preferred to the newcomer Crumblecreek.
