This should be fast and furious and may see She Who Dares Wins finish fast and late to land the spoils. Safranine is a dual winner of this race and has to be respected but age may be catching up with her and she's taken on. The selection had only two runs in 2006 and missed the whole of 2007 so she was entitled to need the two runs that she has had this season. She's still a maiden but has had only fourteen starts and shaped as though she retains her ability last time when beaten under 2 lengths at Redcar. This marginally longer trip will suit and she should be finishing strongly. Cosmic Destiny only missed out by a short-head last time and has sound claims racing from the same mark whilst Pretty Bonnie comes into the race in decent form and should give another good account. Overwing merits a place on the short-list, Nomoreblondes looks to be finding her form, Metal Guru's not dismissed, Namu is worth a market check but Sofinella probably has stronger claims than all of them in a typically competitive heat. That should mean our selection is sent off at an attractive price and we're happy to take a chance with She Who Dares Wins.
