Puya gets the confident vote to win the finale with Lipizza and Local Fancy rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Sonny Parkin last time out and the form has since been given a boost so off the same mark here he is hard to oppose. Lipizza rates the main danger on his latest second behind Sun Catcher but all his best form is on a fast surface and he would not want any rain. Local Fancy has place claims on his best form but consistency is not his strong point so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the rest, Queen's Pudding is unexposed and is sure to have come on for her first run of the season so should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Puya.
