        Verdict

        Bel Cantor gets the confident vote in the finale with Goodenough Mover and Digital rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Genki and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. Goodenough Mover rates the main danger on his latest third behind Sands Crooner. However he often finds less than expected off the bridle and is taken on with this in mind. Digital is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Mistral Sky has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price while Word Perfect would be a danger to all if on a going day but that is a big if, and with this in mind for the winner we return to Bel Cantor.
