      Verdict

      Absolutely no form to go on here so the market could be a decent guide but if breeding will out ALWAYS DIXIE should score ahead of Monalini and Miss Smilla. Also in the selection's favour is the form of Mark Johnston's yard, who have been firing in winners all winter. It might also turn out that sprinting will be this girl's forte as a relation to the useful Parkview Love, who was a dual winner over five and six furlongs before maturing to win over further. Monalini will want further in time but there is a winning sprinter in this one's family though she is not as well bred as the pick. If Miss Smilla is attracting market support that could be significant with connections not shy at backing there charges if they think they can score and this trip should be her optimum. Cariad Coch will definitely need further in time but may figure here, however, Alway's Dixie has the call on pedigree grounds.
