In depth
Verdict
A really trappy finale with all of these finding winning a far from easy task and just the sole course winner on show in MISS DUSKY DIVA. She does have to concede weight all round but the weight range in this contest is not overly considerable and she's one of the few to house the virtue of consistency as well as having a good record around the track. She should go close. What A Party needs a market check on this return from a lay-off of over 600 days, whilst the likes of Rock'n Gold, Trautmann and Simply Clever have all shown enough at this level to contend and are preferred in that order.
