        Verdict

        Foley Millennium, Harrison's Flyer and One Way Ticket are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Foley Millennium. The selection was a fair third behind Bond Boy off this mark last time out. This looks slightly easier and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Harrison's Flyer rates the main danger on his latest second behind Full Spate but he has yet to win off a mark this high and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. One Way Ticket won well last time out when beating Trick Cyclist but he has a penalty for that win and that form has since been let down so he will need to improve again to win this. Of the remainder Frascati has dropped to a handy mark and could run well at a price but he is becoming frustrating and for the winner we return to Foley Millennium who is taken to make all.
