    Verdict

    A tough finale to the card can go to Vandenberghe, who has held his form well and should confirm his marginal superiority over Holly Rose; with Our Destiny and Fantasy Crusader feared the most out of the remainder. Market confidence behind Mister Clinton will also be interesting as he has bits of form over this trip that give him claims but his latest start over course and distance left a little to be desired and he is not one to go overboard about despite his improved efforts of late. Our Destiny, on the other hand, seems to have gone off the boil a little and needs to prove his interest at the moment. So, like Fantasy Crusader, who has a bit more to find in this company, his claims are best limited to an each-way play for safety reasons. Therefore, with his stamina for even further already proven, we turn to Vandenberghe, whose last two turf efforts have hinted that this surface will not be a problem for him and he will be hard to beat now that he is at the top of his game.
