Alizar, Maluti and Lucky Valentine are three against the field in the finale and the vote goes to Alizar. The selection won well last time out when defeating Red Monarch and although he has a six pound penalty for that win he is taken to go in again with conditions again in his favour. Maluti rates the main danger he was only a length behind the selection last time and is better off at the weights but he gave the impression he would be better over further and for that reason he is opposed. Lucky Valentine is another that could go well he was a good second on his debut this season when second behind Avit and is sure to have come on for the run but his best form is over a slightly longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Yorkie is likely to have the race run to suit and is another that could go well but for the winner we return to Alizar.
