The last race on the card is a wide open sprint handicap but hopefully WATERLOO DOCK can go in ahead of Louphole and Titus Gent. The selection has been in great form of late winning two of his last three and finishing second in the other one. His form has been good but his handicap mark has now suffered and he may struggle a bit more today. However, sprinters in good form should be followed and he may be able to go in one more time. Louphole is coming back from a break but has gone well fresh before. His all weather form is very consistent and if fit will be in the shake up. Titus Gent is from a highly respected yard and there will not be much between himself and the selection on a line through Bobs Dreamflight. Others to note are Song Of Praise and Not My Choice in this very competitive finale.
