Rockonsoph's only success has come in the pointing sphere and she still has a bit to prove under Rules. DIVAS DOYEN is preferred despite finishing last of six on her latest start as that was on heavy ground and she wasn't beaten that far. She receives 20lb from the top weight with her rider's allowance factored in. Bilboa River has been well beaten on his last three starts so some improvement is needed.
