Winner over this trip as a two-year-old and ran well to finish third to Miss Minuty over 1m2f here last time out. Interesting racing off the same mark today.

Forecasts

Miss Minuty (15/8), Assanilka (9/4), Highland Pass (5/1), Lava Light (7/1), Mississippi Miss (8/1), French Mix (10/1), Hipz (14/1)

The drop in trip today can see ASSANILKA reverse last months running with top weight Miss Minuty. The selection was tackling the 1m2f trip for just the second time on that occasion with the majority of her form coming over this distance and she can get the better of Jeremy Scott's charge today. Of the remainder Mississippi Miss put in her best effort in recent times when stepping up to this trip last time out and she can finish third.
