Verdict

Looks a great race for A DIVA (1), who has been thereabouts in stronger races, most recently when 2 lengths fourth over 1m at Mornington. Peak fitness now and ready for the extra trip. CALLMEANICON (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Fitter for those outings and this trip to no issue. JENNY THE BEAVER (7) will be better over even further than this, but might show up after a nice return. JAYKAYANN (2) is not a renowned first-up performer but this is a serious step back on the races she contested last prep, so she could improve.
