This is a fair opportunity for Bold Diktator to deliver on the promise shown in his last few starts and he just edges the nomination over Beautiful Mover and Aviation. It may also be prudent to monitor the betting market surrounding Overtop Way, who still has scope for improvement. The handicapper has taken a bit of a chance with him and he could be good value for a place here. Aviation also has claims on the pick of his efforts. However, he faces no easy task from top weight on, what is, his first try over the trip. Beautiful Mover has shaped as if a mile will suit her and, with her yard in excellent form, she has to be respected. However, Bold Diktator just edges preference on this occasion, as he has proven form at the trip, should not be troubled by the ground and has assistance of a jockey in great form at present.
