    Verdict

    Viva Diva looks to have some improving to do if she's to make her trip over from Ireland worthwhile and Schmooze has looked in the handicapper's grip in three starts since scoring at Hamilton last month. Grand Diamond has strong claims given he's a winner without a penalty having picked up an apprentices race over track and trip a week ago but both of the latter pair have something to find on collateral form with FORREST FLYER. His latest third to stablemate Hawdyerwheesht gives him every chance in this and Jim Goldie's course and distance winner gets the vote.
