        Verdict

        Perfect Citizen is tumbling down the weights and could now be on the light side while Ultimate Respect could prosper for a return to the venue of his best run but we have a course specialist in out midst and COMMON DIVA looks well treated with a capable claimer on her back making her load look light and she gets the nod. A winner over course and distance three times from seven attempts the pick ran a solid race when a pound better off last time and looked in need of a step back up to this stamina test. Although it is true that she has failed to take advantage of similarly good terms recently we'd rather be with her than against her. Perfect Citizen was second best when six pounds heavier on his handicap debut but in seven runs since hasn't shown that level of form. His maiden's tag went on Kempton's Polytrack so a return to a similar surface may get him back on track. Ultimate Respect's best effort to date was a place over course and distance two starts ago and under the same burden this time Mark Johnston's runner is given a chance. Glenridding boasts a good course record but still looks high in the weights so instead we turn to Common Diva to score a Dunstall Park again.
