Warsaw Pact gets the confident vote to win the finale with Cape Secret and Souffleur rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Shaun's Vision and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and is taken to defy the handicapper. Cape Secret rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Shore Thing but that was against his own age group and he will need to improve again to win this. Souffleur won well last time when beating At The Money but he has yet to prove he stays this far . The remainder have plenty to find on their latest efforts and for the winner we return to the progressive Warsaw Pact.
