        Verdict

        Fredricka’s earlier win here came over 7f and BAHAMIAN HEIGHTS is preferred. Bob Cowell’s sprinter has won two of his last four starts at this venue and had Red Stripes back in third on his most recent success. The latter had earlier finished behind Firesnake here but the latter was due to run at Wolverhampton yesterday while Arnarson makes more appeal than Excellent George over today’s trip.
