Jostle gets the vote in the finale with Mazindar and Good Wee Girl rated as the main dangers. The selection finished behind Mazindar over this course and distance last time, but he found trouble in running that day and he was travelling strongly at the finish. With a bit more luck in running here he should be capable of reversing the placings and scoring. That should leave Mazindar to fight it out for places with Good Wee Girl, who still has plenty to prove over this trip and she may just need this run on her seasonal reappearance. Hugo The Boss has run his best races over this trip and seems to be slowly going the right way so he is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Jostle.
