Although becoming slightly frustrating CATCHANOVA seems to have been found a decent opportunity to finally get off the mark with nearest rival Mr Maximus having something to prove and Flyinflyout can be given a squeak at a price but he needs to bounce back to form. The hope is that the selection hasn't developed a full dose of seconditus having found just the one too good in his last two runs. That said he was only held a neck off this mark last time out and a similar run would be enough. Mr Maximus is unexposed but hasn't pulled up any trees so far so while he is down to a new career low mark he still looks best watched. Flyinflyout's only win came at this track and based on his near miss two starts back he looks weighted for a big run. Take My Hand should be seen to better effect in this line-up and is only a few lbs worse off than when last on top but the best treated here is undoubtedly Catchanova.
