Divine Force for Lindy Delapenha Memorial

A battle royale on the lead should play into DIVINE FORCE's hands at a mile in Saturday's 'Lindy' Delapenha Memorial.

DIVINE FORCE gets the ideal trip to mow down I REALISE and FURTHER AND BEYOND, who should cancel themselves on the lead trying to escape each other.

DIVINE FORCE shouldn't be too far off the pace to pounce on the locals with a mere 118lb, receiving eight pounds from I REALISE, who should have no answer when the foreigner knocks.

The United States of America-bred four-year-old colt won easily, clocking a solid 1:32.2 at seven and a half furlongs, powering up the lane on December 30. DIVINE FORCE appears to have improved with the figure-eight fitted for his last four runs.

I REALISE and FURTHER AND BEYOND are the only speed threats Tevin Foster has to keep an eye on. Should FURTHER AND BEYOND not report at his best, I REALISE could try stealing the show.

FURTHER AND BEYOND has had his issues but can be a dangerous contender if sound. He held his own among crack rivals in open-allowance company two years ago before going off on a year's lay-up.

A danger to all whenever controlling speed resides with him, I REALISE has the pace to run rivals into the ground. However, he has topweight 126lb at a taxing distance for a horse aiming to make all, especially with FURTHER AND BEYOND out to create mayhem up front.
