Verdict
This finale looks a two horse race involving Piccostar and Sarah¿s Art with the vote going to Piccostar. The selection has finished second over five and six furlongs at Brighton and most latterly when narrowly beaten by Sarah¿s Art last time out. The winner now carries a six pound penalty and for that reason the result should in effect be reversed with weights now favouring the selection. The fact that he has track experience is a plus on an undulating surface also. Pantomime Prince had some good form as a two year old but has been a little inconsistent of late. He now wears cheek pieces and looks a bit quirky so is to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Piccostar.
