      Verdict

      Regent's Secret, Apache Point and Acuzio are the three to concentrate on in the finale and the vote is given to Regent's Secret. The selection loves it round here and he is aiming to make it three wins over this course and distance in the space of just over a fortnight. He is in good heart, has conditions to suit and despite his penalty is difficult to oppose. Apache Point is another in good form who is chasing the hat-trick. However, his best form is on an easier surface and he may find the ground tonight a touch on the quick side. Acuzio is another that is better with some cut in the ground although he is also effective on a faster surface. He has been running consistently well of late and although we expect him to find a couple too good tonight, he is sure to run his race. Beauty of Dreams looks the best of the remainder, but for the winner we will return to Regent's Secret.
