Baddam is put forward as the selection in the finale with Dudley Docker and Gurrun rated as the main dangers. The selection has conditions to suit here and he caught the eye last time out when staying-on strongly in third behind Bowled Out over a mile. He remains unexposed and will be suited by the step up in trip so should take plenty of beating. Dudley Docker is another that will be suited by the step up in trip but he still has plenty to prove and although he remains unexposed he is probably best watched today. Gurrun is in good form and he was only narrowly beaten by the well-fancied Detroit City on the AW last week. However, this race looks tougher and he will have to improve to trouble the selection. Planet is from a leading yard and is another worth consideration, especially if the market offers any encouragement, but for the winner we return to Baddam.
