4.40 - the big race of the day is this fillies listed race. After coming third in a listed race at Newmarked earlier this month you can understand why Dark Missile (8/11) is fancied so much. Unlike that day she races against her own sex only here too which is a plus. She was only narrowly beaten on her sole try over 5f (0.5 lengths) and with a William Buick on board today she should go very well once more. I won't be backing it at odds on though and instead have opted for one EW - Cake (10/1 Coral). She ran a poor race LTO at Newmarket but she ran some good races last season, picking up a fillies only listed race at Newmarket before coming 2nd to Captain Gerrard at York in a listed race. When tried in a group 3, Captain Gerrard again proved too much for her, but she stayed on at the end to come 3rd and less than 2 lengths off the winner. As the second highest rated horse in the field she merits respect and 10/1 looks a cracking each way price. I've also gone the Dark Missile - Cake SF which is 6.96 Bet 365
