        Verdict

        In a handicap that shouldn't take much winning ARRIVA LA DIVA looks the one on form so is given the verdict while Kristen Jane could go well after some good runs in plating class races and Sharp Shoes looks a live one. A winner from 5lbs lower in the handicap two starts ago the pick was then a close up fourth under a penalty. He's 1lb better off this time and this looks a winnable race. Kristen Jane has found some form he her last couple of starts but will find life tougher now back in handicaps although her mark is probably fair. Sharp Shoes wasn't held all that far off a comparable weight last time and on the pick of his form is beginning to look on the light side in the weights. Sandwith has a similar profile to the last mentioned so also must be considered but in a tricky finale Arriva La Diva looks the one.
