In depth

Verdict

Eager Diva is given one last chance to get her head in front in this maiden with Hawk Mountain and Bourbon Balistic rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Westwood last time out, has the highest bhb rating and under conditions that suit she looks the one to be on. Hawk Mountain rates the main danger on his debut fourth behind Reel Buddy Star. He looks sure to improve and should be closely watched in the market. Bourbon Balistic has been running well of late without winning but he has already indicated that he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and as he will be handicapped after this run that is where his future may lie. Tito also ran with promise on his debut and is another that is sure to improve but for the winner we are happy to return to Eager Diva.
