Point, Tobesure and The Right People are three against the field in a competitive finale and the narrow vote is given to Tobesure. The selection was behind Point last time out but he looks sure to have come on for that run and with rain forcast he looks the better bet. Point rates the main danger as he won well over course and distance last time out when beating Menelaus. He will find this harder under his penalty and at likely odds looks worth taking on. The Right People is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Kilrossanty as he looks sure to have come on for that run and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder, Kissinthepeach is well in on his best form but is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Tobesure.
