Verdict
Divine Call has won over track and trip on his last couple of visits and can go close again in his current form despite a penalty. He beat third-placed Carlovian last week with Archimedes, Decision Maker and Mountain Of Stars further behind but collateral form brings MININGGOLD into the equation. The latter went close over course and distance in both starts here last month and Michael Dods' mare is taken to confirm latest running with Furni Factors and come out best on this occasion.
