Karlani, Rightful Ruler and Jackadandy look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the vote is given to Rightful Ruler. The selection was a fair sixth behind Ostfanni last time out. He looks sure to have come on for the run and with improvemnt likely over this longer trip he looks the one to be on. Karlani rates the main danger on his best form but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. However he could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers. Jackadandy is another worthy of respect on his best form but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 670 day break. Of the others Gigi Glamor was fourth behind Tibouchina last time and is another with place claims but he has yet to prove he stays this far and with this in mind for the winner we return to Rightful Ruler.
