Fantastic Cee gets the vote here ahead of Rich Lord and Still Crazy. The selection showed dramatic improvement from her debut when landing the spoils at Lingfield last time when getting the better of Warm Embraces. She ran pretty green that day so there should be plenty more to come and she should take the world of beating. The obvious danger is Rich Lord who made a winning racecourse debut when beating Ansells Pride. He is another one who should improve but our selection's form looks stronger so we will take Rich Lord on. Still Crazy has won over the course and distance and she was squeezed for room last time so that effort can be forgiven. However, she lacks the scope of our selection and she may have to settle for a place. Cherri Fosphate is another that has had plenty of chances and for the winner we will stick with Fantastic Cee.
