Verdict

A cracking edition of the $200,000 Battle Of The Bush Final. Old marvel REAL KEY (2) showed he still has a zest for racing putting back-to-back victories together and gets the services of Maloney on board to navigate from the sticky draw. Is a nine-time winner over this six-furlong trip and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. Former Hawkes-trained galloper RECRUITER (10) has hit the top-four in ten of 11 starts since relocating to the Ludwig barn and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Will be rock-hard fit for this and draws perfectly for Clark in gate one. Cannot be underestimated. UNDER THE LIMIT (11) has strung three wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence. Hard to ignore. INVAHIR (6) has grown a leg since joining the Webster barn and has to be included. MR METRICS (9) next best despite the awkward draw.
