ERICA'S JOY clearly wasn't quite right at Kilbeggan on debut but, given he was sent off at a short price for his top yard that day, he's worth another chance to show what he's capable of in a winnable race. The Greek should be suited by the step up in trip, so he should build on his debut, and Ben Thomson is the clear pick of the newcomers.
