Lady Pilot, Nods Star and Rare Coincidence look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the vorte is give to the progressive Lady Pilot. The selection won well last time out when beating They All Laughed and although rising in the weights she again has conditions to suit and looks the one to be on. Nods Star rates the main danger on his latest second behind the selection, he is better off ath the weights here and should be noted in the market but he is hard to win with. Rare Coincidence is another that could go well on his latest third but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder They All Laughed is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he remains a maiden and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Lady Pilot.
