In depth
Verdict
A weak claimer though Speeding Starlet has placed at this lowly level recently while Cocktail Skirt won a more valuable contest at Gulfstream last summer and will be sharper for a recent comeback run. Patriotic Endeavor, Lady Love and Sonoma Storm have all placed recently without looking like winning but a speculative vote goes to EYERISH INSPIRED, who has the past form to go close as she drops back down in class.
