Verdict

Plenty of possibilities in a competitive finale. ONEWAYWEST had winners behind him at Wetherby and might be able to defy the handicapper and make it 3-3 for the campaign. Believitanducan is another with a progressive profile and heads the many dangers along with Hamsiyann and George's Lad.
