        Verdict

        Dollar Chick gets the confident vote in the finale with Sporting Gesture and Mighty Moon rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Elopement last time out, looks sure to be suited by this longer trip, and off the same mark looks the one to be on. Sporting Gesture was given a poor ride last time out and that run is best forgotten. He has conditions to suit and he could go well but he looks weighted up to his best. Mighty Moon is game and consistent but he is another that now looks in the handicappers grip. Hernando's Boy has conditions to suit and is sure to have come on for his latest run so he is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the others Hall Of Fame won well last time but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to Dollar Chick.
