Raise The Goblet gets the confident vote in the finale with Western Point and Dubai Shadow rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Risque Heights and although having a penalty for that win he looks progressive and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again.Western Point rates the main danger but he is not progressing as expected and is taken on with this in mind. Dubai Shadow is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Sir Duke could improve for the fitting of a first time visor but for the winner we return to Raise The Goblet.
