This is a race that lacks any real strength in depth and looks to provide Secret's Out with a suitable opportunity to open his account and he is taken to do just that at the main expense of Uncle Max and Heathyards Joy. The last mentioned is one of the least exposed runners in the field but Reg Hollinshead's gelding has given little cause for optimism in two starts over timber so far and is probably best watched even in this lowly grade. Gold Guest is capable of taking a hand on the pick of his form but would probably want a softer surface. Moon Shot takes a big drop in class but looks to have regressed and of more interest may be Uncle Max, who is another taking a big drop in class but has at least shown a glimmer of retaining some ability of late. Secret's Out has run with some consistency of late though and a reproduction of recent form may well suffice.
