More to come from Viktor over sprint trips
Anastazia had no chance off a slow pace last time 5.40 Yarmouth
Paul d'Arcy's filly could manage only fourth of five when 5-4 here last time. However, that race was run at a crawl - the exact opposite to what Anastazia needs.
She got an end-to-end gallop when a ready winner on her previous start, also over course and distance, and it has been a factor behind all her best performances, including when not beaten far at Newmarket on her reappearance and arguably a career best at Windsor last season off a mark of 77 - 7lb higher than this afternoon's event without factoring in her jockey's claim. There was also a decent tempo when she was later beaten less than a length at Leicester on her sole start on soft ground. That is encouraging given the amount of rain around yesterday and there will surely be stronger pace than last time.
