Ascot Race 3 - Mv & Co Hcp (C1)
QUEEN DIVA (11) makes her debut with enough positive trial evidence to be treated as the horse to beat, having won an easy Belmont heat after two earlier lead-ups. The Parnham and Miller combination adds polish and she maps to get every chance on debut. Can make an immediate impact. LONDON ROSE (8) jumped an odds-on fave last start after bolting in at Northam first-up. Drawn better this time as Tsang hops back aboard and she looks set to bounce back third-up. STAR MARTINI (7) has been very consistent this campaign, with two recent Belmont seconds including a narrow defeat in NMW1Y grade. Has the speed to roll across from the draw with Nottle back on board. Can go one better without surprising. HANSADIOS (10) resumes after a sound debut third on heavy ground at Belmont and has since won a Belmont trial. Looks set for a strong showing on resumption. GOD'S RAPTURE (3) resumes in an easier level and can be thereabouts.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a Mdn win at Belmont Park, where he led and held Long Laugh by just over half a length as a very short odds-on favourite. He had been beaten only half a length at Northam the run prior, also from the front. Has talent, but top weight makes this a sterner test.

Resumes after eight months off and has won a comfortable Lark Hill trial, which gives him some fitness base. He ended last campaign with a fair sixth to Miss Valmalenco in a Class 1 over 1200m at Belmont Park, beaten four lengths, after being second last in a Class 3 at this venue. Place profile is there, though recent race form must lift.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a plain finish to last campaign, last behind Hurricane Harley in NMW1Y grade at Belmont Park when she covered ground and hung out throughout. She had also been second last in Open company over 1400m on soft ground. Is appealing coming back in grade on resumption.

Returns from a lengthy spell after going close in Saturday company at Belmont Park, beaten just under a length by Achy Breaky in Open grade. He had lost ground at the start two back before picking up nicely into sixth, so there was merit in that effort as well. Close-up Open form reads well, but the maiden tag keeps the verdict cautious.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last at Northam in a BM44+, beaten just under five lengths as favourite. The run prior was only fair at Belmont Park on soft ground, where she held her spot but did not quicken. Weight relief helps, but her 1000m record is a clear concern.

Resumes after eight months off following two close seconds to end her last campaign, the latest when beaten a head by Secret Stones at Mt Barker as a well-supported favourite. She had earlier been pipped by State Of Fury at Bunbury in Class 3 grade. Proven at 1000m, but the long break is the query.

Has been close enough on the margin last start, beaten a length and a half in a Bunbury Mdn, but she still finished sixth after racing keenly early and working home only evenly. Two back she was eighth behind Pistone after covering ground and not quickening. Looking to others.

Returns from a four-month break after a sound debut third at Belmont Park on heavy ground, beaten just over two lengths by Rockin' Serenity after leading and being run down late. She has since won a Belmont Park trial, so there is enough readiness in the profile. Can build on her latest trial and put her best foot forward.

Debuts with a strong enough profile to be the top pick, having won an easy Belmont Park trial after two earlier public hit-outs. The Simon A Miller and Chris Parnham pairing brings authority, while the Nicconi trainer-sire numbers read well from a decent sample. Looks the one to beat on debut with a favourable setup.
