New Time, Khaysar and Joey Tribbiani are three against the field in this competitive finale and the vote is given to New Time. The selection was a fair third when last seen behind Devito has plenty of scope for improvement and if he is fit after a 224 day absence he will be hard to beat. Khaysar rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Zeloso, that horse has since franked and he should be closely monitored in the market. Joey Tribbiani is game and consistent and is sure to run his race under conditions that suit but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Green Prospect looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price if the fitting of a first time visor has the desired effect but New Time hails from an in form yard and looks the one to be on.
