Verdict
The Amanda Perrett-trained Off Colour may have run into a very useful type last time out and, as an unexposed individual in a field of frustrating characters, he gets the nod in the finale. General Flumpa is from a yard in good form and, along with Vivre Sa Vie and Edgehill, has to be respected. A high draw may also help Cameron Orchid, who is a lightly raced filly that seems to be getting her act together well at present. She is one for each-way punters to seriously consider. However, the form of Off Colour's seasonal return looks a solid gauge at this stage and he looks to have an excellent chance of getting off the mark in his first crack at a handicap off a mark of just 70.
