Zaffeu gets the vote in the finale with Super Dominion and Fortunes Favourite rated as the main dangers. The selection ran well over a longer trip last time and is clearly in good heart at present. He returns today to a trip where he is proven and if he can run up his recent level of form then he should take plenty of beating. Super Dominion ran well in a claimer on this track last time and as he was doing all his best work at the finish that day the step-up in trip should suit and he could go close. Fortunes Favourite is another who will be suited by this step-up in trip and she certainly won well last time when beating Haunt the Zoo. However, that was in a banded race and this is more difficult. Lazzaz won well over today's course and distance a couple of runs ago but he had the race run to suit that day and we're happy to return to Zaffeu as the one they have to beat.
