Matterofact gets the confident vote in the finale with Cosmic Destiny and Divalini rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Mimi Mouse last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Cosmic Destiny rates the main danger on ghis best form but he has had plenty of chances off similar marks of late and is becomming expensive to follow. Divalini is another that could go well as he beat Mr Loire with a little in hand last time. However he has yet to convince he acts on this surface. Of the remainder Lady Hopeful is game and consistent but is hard to win with while Jucebabe is sure to have come on for his latest run and should be wtached in the market but for the winner we return to Matterofact.
