Verdict
A real puzzle given every runner has taken part in at least one of the qualifiers for this Sprint Series Grand Final. Black Cadillac won a division of the most recent qualifier last Saturday when beating Belle Bayardo while Welease Bwian finished runner-up in the other division. Temple Road scored here a fortnight ago with Jack My Boy and Waabel behind while Speak The Truth beat three of today's opponents here three weeks ago. FROGNAL landed a couple of the qualifying events before posting a below-par effort last time but he gets the speculative vote to return to form as he remains on a winning mark.
