A very very weak maiden can go to Dot's Delight at the main expense of The Diamond Bond. Kahlil Burke's runners haven't been excelling themselves of late but his four-year-old can turn the tables here. Admittedly his form looks mediocre to say the least but he has shown glimpses of ability, especially earlier on in the season on the turf. In this rank race the main danger looks to be The Diamond Bond and this front-runner could be a danger if allowed a soft lead. Red Fama has shown glimpses of potential in his starts but has hardly set the world alight, whilst Kofi and Huggle are both poor. The betting will help here so watch for market movers, however it is Dot's Delight who gets the nod.
