Rothesay Dancer, Overwing and Toy Top are the three we like in the finale and the vote is given to Toy Top. This filly is really well handicapped on her best form and she hinted that she might be ready to take her turn when finishing a respectable sixth behind Jabarra at Beverely last time. The excellent Neil Brown takes 3lbs off her back and she looks the bet to resume winning ways. Rothesay Dancer goes well for today's pilot and she won well last time when beating Darcy's Pride at Hamilton. Her yard are in sparkling form so she is a leading contender. Overwing hasn't won for a while but she continues to run well. However, she may need some respite from the handicapper before she is able to get her head in front again. Mystery Pips is not as good as she once was and is opposed, which returns us to our selection which is Toy Top.
