Verdict
This appears to be a decent opportunity for INTERDIAMONDS to record a second career success despite the fact that she's clearly a filly to have reservations about having finished runner-up on no fewer than eight occasions in thirteen career starts. However, she is fairly handicapped and none of her three opponents represent solid propositions with Rosewin having been beaten a long way on his last two starts following a good spell at around this time last year, Hunters Belt having finished last when sent off favourite at Haydock which leaves course winner Simonside who rates the likeliest threat having gone close on his penultimate start from today's mark which is 5lbs higher than that from which he was last successful.
