Verdict
As with most sellers, this won’t take much winning. Diva Kareem has placed in five of her 11 career starts so shouldn’t be far away with I'm Digby, partnered by the champion, another to consider. Irish import Glass Of Bubbles could also go well but MY MACHO MAN has at least won a race and can defy a penalty in this.
