In a competitive little claimer with a few closely rated rivals COMMON DIVA appears to be the best treated and has our confidence to score with Bromhead and Hawkspring the others most likely. Intriguingly the selection has been in better form in handicaps this season having scored both his victories at this track in that sphere. Still you have to like her chances on these terms receiving weight from similarly rated rivals. On the same rating is Bromhead who has done little wrong in three starts. Probably still on the improve he will figure prominently but with the terms in the selections favour he might just be found wanting. Hawkspring has probably been running the most consistent of these runners but will have to concede weight all round. Still another decent run should have him close. Forty Thirty, Flying Lady and Supernoverre all are allotted ratings that suggest they should challenge but on these terms it's hard to look past Common Diva.
