      Verdict

      This open finale can go the way of Gyroscope, with Zonta Zitkala and Graceful Steps others to consider. The selection ran into a smart opponent last time when chasing home Laa Rayb and as she came well clear of the rest of the field that day the form looks solid enough. She should prove too strong for Graceful Steps who is eased in grade after being tailed off in a Listed contest last time. Zonta Zitkala won well last time and the yard are in cracking form but she has yet to race over this trip so she does have that question mark hanging over her. Perfect Star looked in need of her run last time and she is lightly-raced so she is worth a look in the market. However, for the winner we will stick with Gyroscope.
