Cree, Digital and Ali Bruce are three against the field in this tricky finale and the tentative vote is given to Cree. The selection won well last time out when beating Coconut Squeak and although she has a penalty for that win, this race looks sure to be run to suit and from a good draw she is taken to score. Digital rates the main danger on his best form but his best form has come in big fields off a strong pace and, for that reason, he is opposed. Ali Bruce is another that could go well on his latest second behind Lord Of The East but he is hard to win with, and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Of the remainder, Morgan Lewis has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but, for the winner, we return to Cree.
