Spinetail Rufous, Pulse and Parkside Pursuit are three against the field in the finale and the vote goes to Spinetail Rufous. The selection won well last time out when defeating Cargo and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a shade in hand and under conditions that suit he will be hard beat. Pulse rates the main danger he was a good second behind Betty's Pride last time and runs off the same mark here so he will not be far away. Parkside Pursuit goes well at the track but her best form is on a fast surface so she looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder White Ledger has dropped to a handy mark and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Spinetail Rufous.
