Newmarket Race 7 - Polhill Cutting Hcp
DIOMED DUKE (4) built on a 2L second tackling course and distance with a decisive 1.75L Lingfield success on latest appearance and arrives in career-best form. Sets the standard. LARA ANTIPOVA (3) produced her strongest effort when staying on for a 1.5L second in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Ascot and remains lightly raced. Main danger. TIVA (1) followed a close Thirsk third with a neck victory attempting 1000m at Musselburgh two weeks ago and is clearly thriving. Makes some appeal. MAELSTROM (2) did well to finish fifth from a wide draw in a competitive handicap at this venue last time and has three previous wins at 1200m. Not discounted.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Musselburgh on August 7 over 1000m defeating Woohoo carrying 62kg at $5. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Thirsk on August 1 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Accrual with 63kg at $9. Back in the winners' list and rates among the hopes.
