    Verdict

    Miss Saafend Plaza gets the confident vote in the finale with Beau Sancy and Tension Point rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Cochium on her latest start. That horse has since franked the form and off the same mark here she looks the one to be on from a good draw. Beau Sancy rates the main danger on her best form but she was disappointing for no apparent reason behind Love Dubai last time out so can not be put forward with too much confidence. Tension Point is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is rising in the weights without winning and looks opposable on that basis. Strike Force could improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Miss Saafend Plaza.
