Verdict

With whips not allowed in this race, it could pay to side with a front runner and for that reason, SONG TO THE MOON is our call in the finale. He has front run in the past over slightly further and if one were to ignore his last run, he would be much shorter price in the market today. Pebblesonthebeach has one of the more experienced riders aboard and she is able to claim 3lb off under the terms of this race. Rio Royale has proved a disappointment though has dropped down the handicap as a consequence. Foxtrot Alpha ran respectably at Kempton on the polytrack whilst So Surreal has won off higher marks in the past though has found life difficult this season.
