GOING: G

DIAMOND HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD
Genuine pace headed by Vantastic Choice from his wide alley. MASTER MASTERMIND (5) closed off well after being a little slow to begin over 1200m last time out and the rise to this trip appears ideal. He maps to sit closer in the run this time and he showed good speed in a recent trial. Bowman sticks with him and with improvement likely, he looks ready to notch up his maiden win. SUNNY DA BEST (2) bolted in two starts ago but disappointed most recently when racing along keenly in front, fading out to be beaten 3.5L. The inside draw is a big tick and the in-form Atzeni hops in the saddle. Can return to winning form. TOP PEAK (6) was a strong winner over this course and distance last time out, winning by 1.5L when putting his rivals to the sword. This looks a similar event and he rates highly despite the rise in weight. Still improving early in his career and another win isn't far away. VANTASTIC CHOICE (9) bumped into a smart one most recently and turned in a good figure there. A repeat of that will see him go close in this.
