Tallahasse showed some battling qualities to win on debut whilst SWEETIE TIME is our selection after winning here and another good run can be expected from Nordic Spruce in this race. The pick won over course and distance last time out beating Khor Sheed. This was a much better effort than her debut at Newmarket and considering she can improve again she looks a good option. The runner-up has since gone on to win and frank the form of Sweetie Time so we side with her to pick up back-to-back successes. Nordic Spruce comes from a heavily respected yard and after winning on debut she is a big threat. The pedigree is also decent with her dam a Listed winner as a two-year-old. She is certainly worth including in calculations. Tallahasse came from the rear of the field and was hampered on her debut but still managed to win and that fighting spirit may be needed to challenge today. Although a tricky race to call we give the vote to Sweetie Time.
