Verdict
A large field goes to post for the finale and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Goblet of Fire, Avitta, and Thesis and the vote goes to Goblet Of Fire. The selection has been in good form of late and was a good third in a better race than this behind King Revo last time out. He runs off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Avitta rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Dancing Pearl and although he has a penalty for that win he remains on a fair mark. Thesis is another worthy of respect on his best form but he may just need the run after an absence and for that reason he is opposed. Power Unit is game and consistent and is another with place claims but he looks weighted up to his best. Man From Highworth was a fair second behind Island Stream last time and is another that could go well but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Adopted Hero is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Goblet Of Fire.
