In the finale, Glamaraazi is selected ahead of Capital Lass and Black Sea Pearl. Glamaraazi looked open to further improvement when scoring here last time and, with the opposition not being the strongest, she can land the finale despite stepping up in trip. Dual recent course and distance winner Capital Lass can also go well despite having been raised four pounds for her last win. Black Sea Pearl's mark seems competitive enough in the context of this race based on her seven-furlong runs at Wolverhampton, while Rainbows Guest would hold claims based upon his 2005 form but would need to step up on more-recent efforts. Once again, though, the vote goes to Glamaraazi.
