There are plenty in with chances in the finale but we will side with RED CURRENT to get the better of Iguacu and Hits Only Cash. The selection has plenty to recommend her in this handicap as she won well at Chepstow last time when beating Dichoh. She proved that day that this trip holds no fears and although her overall strike-rate on the all-weather does temper confidence, she does have a good draw and she looks the percentage call. Iguacu won last time but that was over a longer trip and he was all out to beat Casablanca Minx. The draw is a cause for concern as is the fact that he doesn't win very often so he may have to settle for a minor role today. Hits Only Cash has got course and distance winning form but the draw is a big negative today, while King Of The Beers seems to have lost the plot on his last couple of starts and he may be in the grip of the handicapper. A tough race for punters to fathom and the vote goes to Red Current.
