Bridgewater Boys can land the finale at the expense of Didn't Tell My Wife, Augustine and Greenbelt. There was a lot to like about the effort of Bridgewater Boys in finishing second to Dispol Foxtrot over the course and distance just five days ago, and he is taken to go one better here. Although he has not won since June 2004, Kevin Ryan's charge has high hopes of at least finishing ahead of Augustine and Witchcraft on today's terms, and he could be about to hit form again off what is a reasonable mark. Didn't Tell My Wife was a beaten favourite last time but with Eddie Ahern in the plate to help, a good run is envisaged, while Greenbelt threw away a winning opportunity here last time when worn down close home, but should be involved again. Bridgewater Boys gets our vote though to return to winning ways.
