Hollow Jo, Iced Diamond and Secam are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Hollow Joe. The selection won well last time out when beating Aggravation and although she has a penalty for that win she won with plenty in hand and she is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Iced Diamond rates the main danger on his latest form but he just ran as if in the handicappers grip last time and for that reason is opposed. Secam is another worthy of respect as he has dropped to a handy mark but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Humillity is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Hollow Joe.
