Asian Lady looks the interesting filly in the race along with Heaven and Diminuto who are both worth noting in this finale. The selection gets into her first handicap off a realistic mark of 68. She has run well enough against maiden company this spring finishing third in both her last two starts. She also has course form to her name when third to Dunn¿o last time and is taken to score off such a fair mark. Heaven has the advantage of winning course and distance form having won around here on her last run as a two year old. She does not have the benefit of a run this season like some of her rivals so it remains to be seen how well she has trained on. Diminuto being a six year old has mountains of experience winning six times. She clearly likes this track winning here twice over five and six furlongs. She does though run off a mark that is close to her best so others in the race could be potentially better handicapped. So for the winner we return to Asian Lady.
