At The Helm : Distance will suit it, will run well here.

Magnitude : Distance will suit it perfectly, but looks little under prepared.
Romantique : Distance is good for it, Jockey selection is good for it, will push hard can place
Show Time : A place hope.
Black Magic Woman : A very speedy animal, if it stays the distance then only it will be the one to beat. Have my doubts over its staying capability though.
Celebrity : Last run was impressive, has improved by leaps and bounds, with Prakash to ride, will surely challenge all.
Nearness Of You : Fantastically bred, has got the perfect Jockey for it, will be one to beat.
Preordained : Misbehaved filly, if in the mood will place here.
African Queen : Well bred, and is coming up nicely, will fight.

Race 8. Sky Light, Lad Diva(E/W), Cool Whistle Upset : Tribal Queen.
THE DIABLO PLATE (DIV-II) : The contenders here are Lad Diva, Tribal Queen, Cool Whistle, Star League and Sky Light. In terms of quality Sky Light  is a far better animal, but running after a long layoff of 1 year. Can win, not to be underestimated.
