        Verdict

        We finish the meeting with a sprint handicap which won't take much winning and hopefully WELCOME APPROACH can take this ahead of Megalo Maniac and Officer Mor. The selection is a very tentative choice in a race where the market should prove the best guide. He is perhaps best much known as an all-weather horse but races from a very nice mark back on turf. His latest form has been good and if in the mood on the grass could go well. Anything Richard Fahey sends out nowadays warrants maximum respect so his Megalo Maniac must go well. He is another horse who has been applying his trade on the all weather and his recent form is also solid. Officer Mor could go well at a nice price as this is the lowest mark he has had for quite some time, money for this one would be an encouraging sign. Of the rest Fuzzy Cat and Thunder Bay could go well, however we are happy to plump for Welcome Approach in the lucky last.
