Mazamorra is likely to be in warm order for his handicap bow but he's doesn't look a stand-out at the weights but there is a chance that MADHAAQ is so the vote lands on John Dunlop's runner while Ice Diva was a nice winner last time and should make a bold bid under a revised mark. Still unexposed the pick has shown plenty of ability in his four runs to date and put in a solid effort last time. However it's his form when a close up third at Goodwood two starts back that suggests his opening mark is fair as he beat home a subsequent higher rated winner. Mazamorra is looking very progressive and was a very cosy winner over slightly shorter also at Goodwod last time. This step up in trip shouldn't make a big difference but it's difficult to assess his handicap weight as light. Ice Diva capped an improving run of form with a comfortable score last time and is fairly treated in reassessment while the late nature of Love Action's last time out win might mean his good value under his revised weight.
