Boanerges,Polar Haze and Bahamian Bay are three against the field in this wide open finale and the vote is given to Boanerges. The selection was a good second behind Casterossa last time out off this mark. That form has since been franked and from what looks a good draw he will be hard to beat. Polar Haze rates the main danger on his best form as he is very well handicapped. However he has had plenty of chances of late without taking one and he is beginning frustrating to follow. Bahamian Bay is another that could go well but his best form of late has come over a longer trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Secret Vision is from a shrewd yard and is another that looks to be on a handy mark so should be noted in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Boanerges.
