Verdict

The finale can go the way of Camolin, with Zain and Mandarin Rocket also seriously considered. The selection looks a nice filly and she won well when last seen out in Ireland at Ballinrobe. She likes to get her toe in which is big plus and with the trip also to suit here she can go close. Zain has won here in the past and he ran well enough last time to suggest that he can make the frame here today. However, his only career win came on fast ground and he may find these conditions a little too testing. Mandarin Rocket has got form on a soft surface and he ran well last time so there is enough to suggest that he can get competitive. Thunderwing will love the ground but he hasn't won for over three years so he has a few questions to answer at present. All of which returns us to Camolin as the one to beat.
