Dyneburg gets the vote in the finale with Avesomeofthat and Blandings Castle rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Carthys Cross with plenty in hand. He again has conditions to suit and under similar conditions here he is taken to defy the handicapper. Avesomeofthat rates the main danger because although he was behind the selection last time he is weighted to gain his revenge. However Dyneburg won with a little in hand there so he will need to improve to score. Baldings Castle is another that could go well as he beat In The Frame last time out. However this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable off this higher mark. Of the remainder Frosty Jak looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to the progressive Dyneburg.
