SWISS DIVA can prove too strong for Master Rooney and Piazza San Pietro. The David Elsworth trained filly didn't shape too badly on her debut in a hot Newmarket maiden and confirmed that initial impression when running on into third in another strongly contested race at Headquarters. This is less competitive and she can take advantage. A race should come Master Rooney's way in due course but he's been turned over at short odds on each of his three starts and one or two questions are starting to be asked although he hasn't done too much wrong. Piazza San Pietro has also shown a decent level of form in attempting to break his duck and he should go close in his attempt to opening his account at the sixth time of asking. Megasecret may prefer an extra furlong or two in time but couldn't be confidently ruled out whilst two newcomers worthy of a cursory glance are Academy Of War and Jachol but Swiss Diva is taken to call the tune.
