Verdict

AL FREEJ has found one too good over 6f on both starts to date. However, this looks to be an easier task and, given she had a subsequent winner behind last time, Roger Varian's filly will be a short price to open her account. Superplex and El McGlynn were both placed on their latest starts on Polytrack and will most likely be fighting it out for the runners-up spot given Script and Ma Kellys have plenty of improvement to find if they're to get involved in the finish.
