Verdict

Greek Well gets the confident vote in the finale with The Music Queen and Melpomene rating the main danger. The selection has shown enough in two better races than this to suggest he can win a race of this nature and with the fitting of a first time tongue tie likely to bring about more improvement he will be hard to beat. The Music Queen rates the main danger as she showed enough in bumpers without getting home to suggest she could win on the flat and with her yard in form and the shorter trip sure to suit she should be noted in the market. Melpomene hails from a top yard and is another to note in them market but in a race where the market will tell all for the winner we return to Greek Well.
