Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists look to be Diavoleria, Cee Cee Rider and Hiho Silver Lining and the tentative vote is given to Diovaleria. The selection was a fair third behind Topflight Wildbird last time out that form looks solid and off what remains a fair mark she looks the one to be on. Cee Cee Rider rates the main danger on her best form but he was never travelling when well behind Snake Charmer last time so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Hiho Silver Lining was fifth behind Bold As Brass last time out and looks sure to appreciate the return to this shorter trip so she should be monitored in the market. Nakoma is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but she now looks in the handicapers grip. Of the others Hot Lips Page could improve for the fitting of first time cheek pieces but for the winner we are happy to return to Diavoleria.
