Verdict

Major Shark Mylo and Lady Ward are three against the field in this wide open finale and the tentative vote goes to Major Shark. The selection won welllast timeout when defeating Shirazi and although he is rising in the weights he has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Mylo rates the main danger on his best form but he has had plenty of chances without winning of late and for that reason he is opposed. Lady Ward is another worthy of respect as shown welllast timeout when defeating Grimshaw but this looks more competitive and she may struggle under her penalty. Uncle Max also won well last time out when defeating Cliquey but he is not proven over a trip this far and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Orbicularis is another in form but is rising sharply in the weights and for the winner we return to Major Shark.
