Speed Figs
T2 - Flying Winner 100
T5 - Glittering Aries 56
T3 - Swift Jade 50+
T1 - Ballymac Weeshie 40
T6 - Vatican Fyne (formerly Rough Rose) 26+
T4 - Sherries Boy 16
Flying Winner is well clear on the figures courtesy of a rapid 41.09 (calc) in the first round. She couldn't match that in the semi's after finding trouble and tonight’s race must revolve around whether she gets a clear run or not. Glittering Aries recorded the next best figure when chasing home Flying Winner in their heat.

The speed figures, with a little tweaking for the effects of the draw, convert to the odds below -
4/11 Flying Winner, 11/1 Glittering Aries, 14/1 Swift Jade, 16/1 Ballymac Weeshie, 28/1 Vatican Fyne, 40/1 Sherries Boy
Strictly on the odds the 11/8 available about Flying Winner is excellent value. Chris Lund's bitch will have to come through the pack again but if the gaps come she'll take some beating. The other market leader with the bookies is Ballymac Weeshie but he looks very short at around 2/1. Glittering Aries is interesting at the 20/1 put up by the layers. She has a poor draw out in trap five but is capable of a fast start and should go better than the odds suggest.
Swift Jade was the ante-post selection and Darryl Porter's bitch has made the final six. She'll be out the back early on but she's a real stayer and I'm hopeful she'll close in for a place at least.
A good race in prospect with several options for betting. Flying winner is the outright selection but an alternative would be to lay Ballymac Weeshie. Possibly even better value is cheap buy of Glittering Aries at 6 on the 50-25-10 spread market.
