STAR Of Mehmas can secure victory in the BetMGM Scurry Stakes (2.40pm) at Sandown this afternoon.

- 

Ahead of five days of spectacular Flat action at Royal Ascot next week it is all about speed in the main races at Sandown, York and Chester. And Richard Hughes' three-year-old filly Star Of Mehmas can win the Listed five-furlong feature at the Esher track.

The daughter of Mehmas has some decent form and won three times as a juvenile, scoring in two Novice Stakes on the all-weather at Lingfield and Wolverhampton before an excellent win when stepped up to Listed level in the British EBF Stalllions Harry Rosebery Stakes at Ayr in September on her final start of the season. She ran on well to win that day with one of her Sandown rivals, Simon and Ed Crisford's Coto De Caza back in third.

Coto De Caza, who had won at Glorious Goodwood before that, franked that form when winning a Group Three on his final start at Newmarket in October.
