1st Pride Of Angels 11/8 - 90
2nd Billyoakes 5/1 - 65
3rd Strategic Heights 8/1 - 60
4th Gold Club 7/1 - 35

Pride Of Angels looks a good solid favourite here. Won over C&D in December and beat Strategic Heights, who has placed 3 times since, including another effort behind Pride Of Angels last time out. The 5th, 6ht 8th and 10th placed horses have all gone on to win since. The 5th Actually turned the tables on Pride Of Angels in her last race, but that doesn't really tell you the whole story because POA got caught behind another runner around the last bend, and the winner got away, however POA was closing like a steam train and just couldnt quite get there. She certainly left Strategic Heights for dust again who came 3rd. Given a clear run Pride Of Angels will go close.

Billyoakes is handicapped to go close, possibly would have liked a couple pounds lower but he is a C&D winner off 3lb lower, should go well.

Strategic Heights has been consistent since Visors were fitted with a 2, 2, 3, 3. He is still 5lb higher than his last win and i dont think he can reverse the form with Pride Of Angels, she would need to be short of room again for that to happen, which lets face it could happen in these sprints. But i think he will put in another good performance, but he is probably looking at a place again.

My Selection: Pride Of Angels 11/8
