A good line-up for this valuable race, with the vote going to Sri Diamond ahead of Wild Savannah, Boot'n Toot and Moayed. Sri Diamond has looked an improved performer of late, winning two of his last three, including last time over course and distance. We think that he will confirm the form there with Wild Savannah and Go Tech on slightly worse terms from this five-pounds higher mark and he gets the vote. Zonergem is still capable on his day, but others are preferred today, while Jath is now nine pounds better off with Moayed for two-and-a-half lengths based on their November 19th course and distance runs. However, Moayed does like it here and we do not rule out a good run. Activo has won his last two races but this French import is hard to fully assess, but Desert Cristal is now only two pounds above a winning mark from Newmarket in August, but this is her all-weather debut. Finally, we feel that Boot'n Toot, a course and distance winner from a two-pounds higher mark in March, looked to be on the way back when making eyecatching late headway here over a mile last time, so do not rule out a good run. However, for the selection we will stick with Sri Diamond.
