Pea Shooter (10/3), Eternalist (7/2), Arnold (5/1), Dundunah (5/1), Kinloch Pride (8/1), Pearl Acclaim (8/1), Burmese Blazer (10/1), Mightaswellsmile (25/1), Griffin Street (50/1)

Verdict

A finale that lacks an outstanding option with most of these having some sort of question mark against them. Arnold would be the clear choice on recent form but this sharp 5f may just be too quick for him after he needed all of the stiff 5f at Beverley to get home last time; may be getting there too late. Eternalist needs to prove herself off this mark while Pearl Acclaim looks to have gone off the boil. Kinloch Pride for all she is below her last winning mark hasn’t fired this year at all but Dundunah has been given a chance by the handicapper if she can build on her last run. A chance is taken on PEA SHOOTER finding his form again as he drops in grade having won over C&D in the past.
  1. Pea Shooter
  2. Arnold
  3. Eternalist
