Another Genepi can land the finale at the main expense of Hessian and Elusive Warrior. This filly from the Kevin Ryan yard beat Towy Girl over this course and distance when last seen out. Admittedly, the draw could have been kinder today but Jamie Spencer is the right man on board to overcome that obstacle and she can go in again. Hessian just scrambled home over this course and distance last time when beating Elusive Warrior so he could be vulnerable today under his penalty. Elusive Warrior is well-handicapped at present and from the plum draw Richard Fahey's runner is afforded plenty of respect. Parkview Love is another that can go well, but for the winner we will side with Another Genepi.
