Verdict

Strictly on the form book the front-running Turn To Dreams should have the beating of Hold The Bucks here but we prefer the claims of COMMON DIVA. Turn To Dreams is 3lbs better off for half-a-length with Hold The Bucks, who beat her in a similar claimer here at the beginning of the month. Even so, the David Evans-trained filly remains a maiden and her willingness to set a strong gallop can set it up for the others. Hold The Bucks is certainly respected at these weights, where he is 2lbs better off with Common Diva than if this were a handicap. However, the selection ran on well to win a shade cosily in handicap company here last time and she seems on very good terms with herself of late. We will take her to finish well off the strong pace and bridge that 2lb gap. Jonnie Skull might be better for an extra furlong tonight but defeats in sellers and claimers of late do not fuel confidence. Kiyari is very much respected with trip and track to his liking and the potential to improve, but we can pick only one and that one is Common Diva.
