Verdict

Montage, High Frequency and Encrypt are three against the filed in this competitive finale and the vote is given to Montage. The selection won well last time out when beating Star Rising, he looks sure to appreciate this even longer trip and despite top weight he will be hard to beat. High Frequency rates the the main danger on his latest second behind Mulligans Pride but that was in a claimer and this looks tougher. Encrypt is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Ti Adora but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Tharua was third behind Makarim last time and is another with place claims but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Aristi loves this track and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Montage.
