Mickmacmagoole gets the confident vote to win this competitive finale with Kentucky Bullet and Finnegans Rainbow rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Brennie and although he has a penalty for that win he still looks well weighted and from a good draw he is taken to score. Kentucky Bullet rates the main danger on his best form but he was disappointing behind Woolstone Boy last time and again looks vulnerable off this mark. Finnegans Rainbow is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Legal Lover but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Alcott is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Iamback has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price so should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Mickmacmagoole.
