Verdict

DIVAKARA (2) has been plying his trade in harder metropolitan outings and should find this assignment much more to his liking. Is yet to miss a quinella spot in six spins around this circuit and looks the one they all have to run down. SIAN STAR (5) is a two-time winner around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Gets 4lbs off with the claim and can make his presence felt. PREPOTENT (3) has hit the top-five at his past eight starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Has to be included. SETTAT (8) has won over this course and distance and gets a jockey upgrade in the form of Thompson in the irons. In the mix. OLE BAZZLE (7) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
