Devon Flame, George The Second and Came Back are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the narrow vote is given to Devon Flame. The selection was a fair second behind Pride Of Joy last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. George The Second rates the main danger on his best bform but he has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind he is worth opposing. Came Bak was a good second behind Count Cougar last time and is another wioth place claims buyt he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder the booking of Daryll Holand for Dvinsky catches the eye and he should be noted in market while Charlie Delta has the ability to go close but but does not like to use it and for the winner we return to Devon Flame.
