In depth

Verdict

So Hi Speed has placed over 5f here on a couple of occasions but has plenty to find at the weights with stablemate VIKIVAKI. Rated 81 having been beaten only a nose at Ascot last year, Bob Cowell’s filly is the one to beat on that form if handling the surface. The remainder also race on the Fibresand for the first time with Muhallab’s third at Newcastle stronger form than both Easy Money and Opera Kiss have managed so far but the newcomer Astro Jakk may prove a bigger threat given his yard get plenty of winners at the track.
