Fast Feet, Not My Choice and Rio Sands look the three to concentrate on in this trappy novice stakes race and the tentative nomination is given to Fast Fee. The selection will appreciate the return to this faster ground and as this represents a drop in class from the races he has been running in of late he looks a value bet from an open affair. Not My Choice rates the main danger he was not beaten far in a nursery behind Hadaf last time out. However he has already indicated he would be suited by a longer trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Rio Sands has shown a modicum of ability in maidens and with his yard in form he could go well at a price but he has been done no favours by the draw. Firenza Bond has plenty of pace and could go well from a plot draw. President Elect was a good second behind Miesko last time out and that form has since been franked. That was only his second start and with more improvement likely he will not be far away. Of the others Speedy Senorita won a seller last time out but she will need to improve again to win this more competitive affair and with this in mind Fast Feet is our idea of the winner.
