Verdict

In a finale where the majority arrive with a point to prove the vote goes to PRINCE OF PILLO after his back-to-form second here last time. Infinity Blue's infrequent visits to the track this year suggests there's been the odd issue but he shaped quite well on his reappearance at the end of the summer and is second choice ahead of Maldevious.
