An open finale in which many have claims however Vitznau gets the tentative nomination ahead of Captain Jacksparra and Little White Lie. The selection gets weight from the whole field here and having found one too good on his last two starts, Richard Hannon's colt will be looking to buck that trend. Martin Dwyer is riding consistently well as he always seems to do and with winning form on ground with cut in, he looks worth siding with again today. Captain Jacksparra is a placepotter's dream, however he is yet to win on the turf and doesn't look well handicapped now. Little White Lie would be an obvious threat if reproducing his run when an easy winner last time out. The softer the better for him and he can go close despite carrying top weight. Cheap Street steps up a furlong in trip but if he gets the extra distance then he must be a real threat having won on soft before. Watch the market for further clues, however Vitznau has a nice weight and gets the vote.
