      Verdict

      Foreign Language gets the confident vote in the finale with Just Bond and Top Mark rating the main dangers. The selection won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Chia. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit and with more improvement likely he is hard to oppose. Just Bond rates the main danger on his latest second to Magical Music but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the unexposed selection and he is taken on with this in mind. Top Mark won a claimer in good style last time when beating North Walk but this looks tougher and he will need to improve to win off this higher mark. Northern Desert looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we are happy to return to Foreign Language.
