A small but competitive field goes to post for the finale and the principals look to be Doberman, Mutadarra and Investor Relations and we will take a chance on the last named. The gelding from the Nigel Hawke yard was well behind Whaleef last time out but this looks to be a seller in all but name and he is taken to get back on the winning trail off what looks a fair mark with conditions in his favour. Doberman rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Burning Truth last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close with conditions in his favour but he is very hard to win with so for that reason is opposed. Mutadarra is also worthy of respect he was a fair fourth behind Wild Power last time but that form has since been let down. Of the remainder Angles Venture is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Investor Relations.
