Verdict
Navigation should be good enough to land this finale, Wise Wager, Cosmic Destiny and The Keep may do best of the others. The selection did well to run a close second to the 72 rated One Great Idea at Hamilton maiden recently. That form cannot be taken too literally, but nevertheless he could be well in here and gets a tentative vote. Wise Wager has been steadily improving and although getting little respite from the handicapper should be chasing a place. Cosmic Destiny has gone close in three races this season and although he may need to drop a few pounds before winning he looks a decent place prospect. The Keep has bits and pieces of form a could do best of the low-weights, but for the winner it has to be the well treated Navigation.
