      Verdict

      A wide open finale can go the way of Nawow, with Ocean Pride and Gee Dee Nen others to consider. Nawow returns to the level after a run over fences but he did win his last race on the flat and there is no reason why he can't go in again today. Ocean Pride was a little disappointing last time but this is an easier race and he should be more competitive today. Gee Dee Nen is dropped in trip which should suit but he has plenty to prove at present and the percentage call is to take him on. Kavi ran well last time and is the other to factor in, but Nawow is in good form and can land the final race on the card.
