Phantom Flipper was engaged to run in the 1.55 here yesterday and though he's gone close over 6f before he has become too frustrating to have any faith in. Street Duel also made a habit of finishing runner-up last year and makes his Fibresand debut along with Ocean Ready and MOUEENN. The latter pair both hail from yards with a fine strike rate at the track especially with three-year-olds but Roger Varian's charge may come out best on this occasion. The newcomer La Barata can include Group 1 winner La Cucaracha and the prolific Le Toreador among her winning relatives and is worth a second glance in the betting.
