      Verdict

      Dinarelli, Greensmith Lane, Mrs Philip and Belcaro look to be the principles in this wide open finale and the vote is given to Greensmith Lane. The selection ran well after a three month absence from the track behind Borora last time. That form has since been franked and given nominal improvement he looks the one to beat. Dinarelli is from a yard that is in good form and has plenty of ability but he tends to find one too good and for that reason he is opposed. Mrs Phillip is from a top yard and is fairly lightly-raced so is open to improvement, but a strict reading of her form leaves her with a little to find. Belcaro is another that could go well but he can not be backed with any confidence as he was pulled-up for no apparent reason last time. Mattkar has a long absence to overcome and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market, but Greensmith Lane has plenty in his favour here and is taken to score.
