CITY SELECTIONS NIKKI’S GIRL hasn’t been seen since a promising third at Nottingham back in July and she gets the vote to come home in front here. Ed Dunlop’s filly shouldn’t have much issue with the switch to the all-weather and the booking of Robert Havlin is another plus. White Jasmine is 0-6 in her career and she won’t get many better opportunities to break the maiden. Lady Fantasia is another to consider following a solid placed effort at Sandown.

PLAY SMARTER A tricky novice but LADY FANTASIA shaped much better from the front in a Sandown maiden 8 weeks ago that has thrown up winners and the well-bred filly is taken to open her account now. White Jasmine may have won a Lingfield nursery with better luck recently and is the obvious danger.
