        Verdict

        It will be interesting to see if Finelcity can continue his progress on this belated return to action, but the probability is that the race will be needed and, in any case, this is quite competitive. Human Nature is high on the list of potential winners along with Claim The Roses , but SIR TITAN looks the most progressive sort among those with recent form and he can return to winning ways.
