There was a lot to like about the manner in which BELLE DIVA stuck to the task when she was last seen out and this may be an ideal platform to launch her handicapping career. She was easily the most expensive of this bunch at the sales and will be a tough customer if she has thrived since she was last seen in action. Notable that 7 of the last 10 winners have overcome a double-figure draw, so a berth in stall 9 shouldn't bee too much of an issue for the improving Tai Hang Dragon, who merits close inspection in the betting, while Angel Of Darkness shouldn't be inconvenienced by the trip and may be able to extend her solid record at this particular track. A similar case can be laid out for The Lacemaker, who has plenty of scope for improvement but needs to prove she can handle the racing surface.
