Kevin Darley should have a simple task here as Blonde Streak has solid enough credentials to open her account on her reappearance. Speciali and Lagosta may battle out the places. Blonde Streak has been entered up all over the place this week, with no less than five possible engagements, so has obviously been showing up well at home. Her juvenile form included a four length second to Big Bad Bob at Newcastle, and in the light of the subsequent achievements of John Dunlop's colt, it will be a surprise if she is turned over. The filly is now qualified to run in handicaps and she may well be prepared for a decent prize at York later on this term, so bear that in mind. Speciali, trained by John Gosden for Michael Owen's promotion company, made an inauspicious start in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket and showed little on his return at Yarmouth. Even so, he should progress to land a maiden in due course, as should Lagosta, who did not see the racecourse as a juvenile but has taken on fair company in his two outings to date. The rest here have been hiding their lights under the proverbial bushels and are hard to enthuse about. Blonde Streak should score before going on to better things.
