In depth
Verdict
Misbehaviour,Anna Panna and Shaka's Pearl look the three to concentrate on in the finale and the vote is given to Misbehaviour. The selection won well last time out when beating Shaman. Granted she has a penalty for that win but she won with plenty in hand and under similar conditions here will be hard to beat Panna rates the main damage on her latest third behind Nevsky Bridge but she barely sees out this trip and for that reason is opposed. Shake's Pearl is another that could go well on her best form but she appears to have regressed so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Josear is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but Misbehaviour sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
