Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Duckadilly heads a competitive six-runner field on our figures for this Class 1 over today's seven furlongs on good to firm, four pounds clear of Chantez in second. Bella Isabella sits a further five pounds back in third, with Phenomenal Filly and Fingerpaint tied on rating just behind her and Nancy J trailing the group. Chantez, Bella Isabella and Phenomenal Filly represent the biggest dangers to the form pick given how well they compare on our figures, but Duckadilly's clear rating advantage makes her the one to beat. We're siding with Duckadilly with real confidence.

Won last time out having been modest before that, Bella Isabella is back within five weeks and already proven over today's trip; a leading threat at third of six on our figures, though her form has been up and down.

Winless in her last five starts but frequently competitive, including a third, Chantez already has today's trip and going covered; she's second of six on our figures with this field's fastest speed figure, though 53 days off is the one query.

Back within a fortnight of a below-par fifth, Duckadilly scored two starts back and already has today's trip and going covered; she tops our figures on merit at 105, with that below-par latest run the only blemish.

After a win and a competitive third, Fingerpaint has faded to back-to-back sevenths, leaving her only fifth of six on our figures; she does have today's trip covered, but 32 days off and a stalling formline make her hard to fancy.

Winless in her last five starts, with a fourth last time, Nancy J is bottom of our six on figures though her 91 sits above an official 83; she has today's trip and going covered, but the formline remains modest.

P Twomey 2/18
Phenomenal Filly sandwiched a win between two fifths and already has today's trip and going firmly in her favour, but a 285-day absence is the obvious concern; fourth of six on our figures, she still rates a threat to all if she retains her form.
