A typically high class final in prospect headed by Anfield Road's recent acquisition Ouija Board. She has shown top form this season but may be better suited by six furlongs rather than this flying five. By contrast stablemate English Battalion revels over the five furlong and also has some smart form in the book.

Delirium has shown only steady form and needs to improve to trouble the best of these. 

Ranch Hamburg runs Windstoss, proven over trip and going it remains to be seen whether his penalty for a last time out win in a qualifier scuppers his chances of lifting the crown. 

Bob Baffert is represented by home-bred Playboy, a surprise winner of the Keeneland Turf Sprint early in the season with several of todays rivals behind. A son of the awesome Bull Diamond this one has to be given respect. 

Lanes End Farm is represented by ultimate sprinter Kingcausewell, equally at home from five to seven furlongs his last two qualifier runs can safely be ignored. This one is sure to be a different proposition come the final though confidence is tempered by carrying a double penalty.

Jellicoe runs for Nemesis Stud and has been campaigned over further, winning his last qualifier over seven furlongs so may be taken off his feet here whilst the same stables Cosmic Adventure doesn't look up to this level.

Rubi Rocks sends out Revenant who is closely matched with Windstoss on their last meeting and should be able to turn the tables on that one.

All in all a fascinating race in prospect sure to be fast and furious and likely to end with a blanket finish.
