|---|---|---|---|---|

Many of these are capable of being prominent early so a genuine staying test should unfold. CAST OF DIAMONDS (9) produced a good effort last time for second when not far from the winner at all. Won his Maiden here. Big chance to take this out. QUID (2) he ran a good race fresh up for fifth. Has been course placed before. Must include him everywhere here. BUSTER SHAW (4) has been racing well this time in. Can handle dry and wet ground. Impossible to omit from any of your multiples. ILLUSION OF PARIS (11) ran a good third at last start. She has been course-placed before. Chance here drawn the ace as able to race close throughout on settling. DEEBEE BELFER (10) is racing better than it seems for a while. Drawn wide. Her two wins have both come left-handed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cast Of Diamonds is a win wager.
