Verdict
ASTRODIVA gets the strong vote to break her maiden tag, while both Quick Gourmet and Lisbon Lion are worth noting. The selection has run well in a string of similar races this season. This does look like one of her easiest opportunities to date and if she can recapture her recent form she is sure to be in the shake up come the business end of the race. Quick Gourmet is another filly to have shown a decent level of form throughout the season and has conditions in her favour. She looks more than capable of being competitive once again so is added to the short list. Lisbon Lion is another to note in the betting market however Astrodiva is the form horse in the race and takes preference.
