Another tough handicap to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Hallings Overture, Azreme, Adantino, Goodenough Mover and And Toto Too, and the vote goes to Hallings Overture. The selection was a good second behind Poule De Leux and with the booking of Darryll Holland catching the eye he will be hard to beat despite top weight. Adantino rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Hazewind last time and has dropped to a fair mark. Goodenough Mover won well last time out when defeating And Toto Too but that rival is better off at the weights and there should not be much between them here. Of the remainder Franksalot is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Hallings Overture.
