    Verdict

    Carnivore gets the confident vote in the finale with Desert Dreamer, King Harson and Street Warrior put forward as the most likely dangers. The selection was slowly away but made up ground to finish narrowly behind King Harson last time. He is a pound better off at the weights today and we think he can reverse the placing with that rival. King Harson can't be dismissed lightly off the back of that most recent effort but he is not the most consistent and the percentage call is to take him on. Desert Dreamer ran well from a poor draw at Warwick last time and with the drop in trip in his favour he has an obvious chance. Street Warrior was a little disappointing last time but he had previously run well at Warwick and a reproduction of that effort here would give him a chance of troubling the judge. However, Carnivore ran well enough last time to merit our vote today.
