This looks a wide open fillies handicap with Sister Act, Cassiara, Life's A Whirl and Mugeba all with a chance but we will take a chance with the last named. Mugeba had been in decent form finishing in the place prize money before getting her haed in front at Newmarket last time out. She only has a four pound hike in the weights for that success and we feel she could still be one step ahead of the handicapper. Sister Act is less exposed with only three runs under her belt. She disappointed inbetween runs but caught the eye last time out when third to Novikov at Newmarket so is one to keep an eye on in the market. As is Life's A Whirl who has a vast amount of experience and looked as though she might be comong back to form at Lingfield on her latest run when placed second of fifteen. Cassiara is winless after eleven attemps but is another who warrants respect as she ran well at Nottingham when third to Truly Enchanting so is worth noting. But in a wide opener affair the tentative vote goes to Mugeba who wont mind the conditions.
