Verdict

A nine runner field goes to post for the finale and it looks a straight forward task for Rustic Revelry. The 10-year old won a better race at Huntington last time and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Buckland Lad rates the main danger on his best form but he has become disappointing of late. Of the remainder Chief Suspect is one of the least exposed in the field and he is worth a cautionary look in the market. The remainder need to improve on all known form to take a hand in the finish.
