Recent good form is at somewhat of a premium in this seller and as such we side with where the ratings point us and DHANIA with Diktalina and Classical Rhythm also considered. There is a danger the pick is a little overrated after some poor efforts in the handicap ranks but based on his maiden form his mark of 67 seems at least more correct than not and he should go close dropping down to this level despite taking on a bigger stamina test. Diktalina is one of the only runner in this field to have displayed some recent encouraging form after staying on well to fine just one too good over this trip last time in similar company. Classical Rhythm gives plenty of weight to our pick and has a bit to find according to the ratings but Jim Boyles gelding needs to be respected dropping down into this company for the first time. April's Daughter at least showed some encouragement last time out so can get into the picture but in a poor race Dhania can find some form.
