Verdict
Wannabe Posh gets the confident vote here with Swindon and Winds of Change rating the main dangers. There selection was given a poor ride when only third behind Beaur last time out, however she remains off the same mark here and with conditions in her favour and Eddie Ahern back in the plate she looks the one to be on. Swindon rates the main danger on her best form but the suspicion is she may just need the run after a 226 day absence and for that reason is opposed. Winds Of Change is another that could go well on her latest third behind Gower Song but she is one paced in a finish and again looks vulnerable. Of the remainder Kerriemuir Lass is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is still a maiden and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Wannabe Posh.
