Verdict

DESIRING DIAMONDS (7) finished third last start in a Group Two feature won by Fredidrivsamercury over 1 5/16m at this track, beaten 30 metres. High class three-year-old filly who is perfectly placed to win. SECOND TO NUN (6) turned in another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish third over 1 5/16m here. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. DAIMYO (4) should be ready to peak now after finishing fourth over 1 m at this circuit two-and-a-half weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. TARENTAISE (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this course over 1 5/16m. Top-three aspirations.
