Jost Van Dyke gets the confident vote here and is preferred to Totally Free and Polly Jones. The selection finished behind Polly Jones last time over this course and distance and on today's terms he is weighted to reverse the placings. Polly Jones should be thereabouts as this filly is clearly in good heart and she does have Ryan Moore in the plate but she will need to improve to get the better of Jost Van Dyke. Totally Free finished in mid-division in a better race than this last time but he was very disappointing the last time he raced here so for that reason we will take him on. House Arrest is a consistent type and has the plum draw but she has had plenty of chances and has yet to get her head in front. We are therefore happy to return to Jost Van Dyke as our choice to lead them home.
