In a wide open handicap that shouldn't take much winning GRAND DIAMOND's consistency makes plenty of appeal so the that one gets the selection with Maybe I Won't in the mix after an improved run last time and Saving Grace also need considering. In contention off this mark in all three flat starts this season the selection is given his easiest assignment so far this term. He was a lot closer to winning that the bare result shows on his last run and a similar effort will be enough. Maybe I Won't was held less than a length by Unlimited at Warwick last time and the booking of Joe Fanning suggests a big run is expected despite a mark rise. Saving Grace is also finding some consistency at present and wasn't beaten that far by Feeling Fresh on her last run off this mark so has a clear chance on that. Wrongwayround should be capable off this rating but looks out of form so a better bet looks to be Grand Diamond.
