Mokhles (4/1), Macaban City (5/1), El C Wells (5/1), Sam Missile (15/2), Dawn Tapper (8/1), Dream Wisely (9/1), Ragtime Red (9/1), Angel In The Sky (12/1), Rita Levi (14/1), Herodotus (14/1), Our Secret Pearl (18/1), Voler Mon Coeur (20/1), Sharjah (20/1), Lady Barrington (33/1), Heliaebel (33/1), Military Star (66/1), Snowdryft (100/1)
Cases can be made for several in this ultra-competitive finale but preference is for RITA LEVI. John McConnell's charge is yet to really fire this year but she's taken to notch a second career victory from this basement mark. Mokhles is proving consistent so he gets the vote to chase the selection home, ahead of Dawn Tapper and Dream Wisely.
