After more encouragement on her last start MOZAYADA is given the vote in this competitive handicap in preference to Bel Cantor and Ishiadancer. Five wins from 17 starts is the excellent course record for the pick, who went through something of a purple patch at this venue last season. She's been dropping down the weights since and after putting in a bold bid over a mile here in the week she should go better with two pounds less to carry and with less yardage to travel. Bel Cantor held on after being granted the easy lead he needed over course and distance last week. There's no guarantee of that plan working again but if he does get to the lead expect a good run. Ishiadancer was a very easy winner over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and while this surface holds no problems for her the handicapper has taken notice of that last performance. Transmission should always be respected and looks to have frame claims but in a tricky race Mozayada looks back to form and is the pick.
