Diktalex is taken to get the better of Psycho Cat and Woodwee in this wide open seller. The selection goes really well on this track and she won a handicap here in battling fashion last time out when beating Smile For Us. She looks to have been found a good opportunity here and from a fair draw she is taken to lead them home. Woodwee is a course and distance winner and is probably at his best trip. He ran a fair race at Musselburgh last time over the minimum trip on heavy ground, but he does not win very often and may have to settle for place money today. Psycho Cat is interesting but he has had plenty of chances and does not look the most genuine. There is every chance that he will make the frame but he does have a habit of finding at least one too good. Teyaar would have claims on the pick of his form but he has been a little disappointing of late and for the winner we will return to Diktalex.
