Verdict
KINGAROO's winning course form gives him the edge in this finale ahead of Alimarr and Dispol Diva. Although the selection's win came over seven furlongs, his subsequent run over a mile where he was staying on well cast aside most doubts about his stamina. The gelding has a new mark of 60 to contend with however he should put up a bold show. Le Petit Vigier has solid claims if repeating his narrow defeat to Kinigi at the track in November, Just Five needs watching in the betting as he returns after a break and he handles soft ground well so may be at home here, whilst Where You Will doesn't have a high mark to start handicaps on but that is no surprise given her form. The consistent Dispol Diva and Alimarr, who is falling down the weights, both need consideration, however it is top-weight Kingaroo who is taken to oblige.
