Chinalea gets the vote in the finale with Safari Mischief and Charming Ballet rating the main dangers. The selection was unlucky in running behind Efistorm last time out when only beaten three lenghts.If he gets luck in running here he will be hard to beat. Safari Mischief rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Chatshow but he was all out on that occasion and looks vulnerable under top weight. Charming Ballet is another that could go well as he beat Currency last time. However he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead he is opposed. Calabaza has the ability to go close but is far from straight forward while Malapropism is thrown in on his best form but he is becomming expensive to follow and with this in mind for the winner we return to
