Verdict
A large field goes to post for the finale, and the main protagonists appear to be Bodfari Creek, Trump Card and Heavenly King but we will take a chance on Bodfari Creek. The gelding from Paul Webber yard has been in good form of late without winning. He is proven on the ground and a reproduction of his latest second behind Kymberlya would make him hard to beat. Trump Card rates the main danger on his latest effort in a bumper over two miles three furlongs when he made all and stayed on well to score. Heavenly King posted an encouraging second last time and with Seamus Durack on board, can make his presence felt, but Bodfari Creek should have his measure.
