MUSTAJED gets the vote in the finale over Benedict Spirit and North Parade. Rod Millman's 8-year-old has been in great form on the all-weather and he looks to be on a fair mark now that he is back on the turf. He has everything in his favour and he is taken to complete the hat-trick. Benedict Spirit has been knocking in the door of late and although he should again make the frame, it is a slight concern that he has finished second on his last four starts. North Parade ran a sound race in defeat at Windsor last time and he should run his race again here, but the handicapper may have to ease him a few pounds before he is able to get his head in front. Richard's Fahey's runners are going well so Fujin Dancer is another to consider, especially as he got squeezed for room when coming to make his challenge at Beverley last time. However, we prefer the claims of Mustajed who can continue his hot streak.
