Verdict

Credible rivals to COMPETITION are thin on the ground in a very weak finale; a race which looks to there for the taking if the Mick Appleby-trained gelding runs to the form of his last couple of starts. Filament Of Gold goes well here and has the form to figure prominently. However, as is the case with General Brook, he has an absence to overcome, so there might be some value to be had in a speculative forecast play with Howardian Hills as the main danger this time.
