The Cayterers, Sweet Pickle and Inka Dancer are three against the field in a wide open finale and the tentative nomination is given to The Cayterers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Who's Winning. Granted he has a penalty for that win but under conditions that suit he is taken to defy the handicaper. Sweet Pickle rates the main danger but she was well beaten off this mark behind Littledodayno last time and again looks vulnerable. Inka Dancer beat Littledodayno last time and will not be far away despite her six pound penalty but consistency is not her strong point. Diamond Josh has disappointed of late while Parkside Pursuit has dropped to a handy mark and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to the progressive The Cayterers.
