In depth

Verdict

TONGALOOMA can take the finale, while both Arriva La Diva and Officer Mor have been running well of late and deserve respect. The selection broke her maiden tag at Wolverhampton last autumn and showed promise on her return to the track after finishing fourth of thirteen at Hamilton last time out. She races off a pound lower mark this time around and is sure to give her supporters another good run for their money. Arriva La Diva won a little maiden race at Ayr last summer and continued to run well until disappointing on a soft surface. With fast ground in her favour she is sure to run well on her seasonal reappearance and any market moves should be noted. Officer Mor has not won for over two years now and has become frustrating to follow. He has however dropped dramatically in the weights as a result of his losing streak so he should be worth keeping an eye on. Tongalooma is the form horse in the race and looks the percentage call.
