Tony Cruz's bid to break George Moore's long-standing record of 87 wins for a season should take a boost in the final event where Silent Witness's half-brother, Very Fit, will take all the beating over his pet distance of 1,600 metres.
The son of Woodman has won all four starts over the course and distance and has been winning his races like he is destined to rise to the top.
Like his famous half-brother, Very Fit has a high cruising speed and kicks strongly when asked for an effort. He leaves the impression he will handle even further than 1,600m but Cruz, who is standing on 81 wins, has opted to keep him competing over this distance for the time being - and given his recent form no one can blame him.
Without any shadow of a doubt it represents Very Fit's toughest test to date, with the two logical dangers shaping as Being Famous and Hail The Storm.
Almond Lee Yee-tat's Being Famous has been the stable star this season, notching six wins and two seconds from 10 starts. It has been a remarkable season for Being Famous, who is about as tenacious as they come.
He lost by the bob of the head when beaten a nose by Himalaya over the course and distance on his most recent outing - in front a stride before the post and a stride after but missed when it counted. Being Famous is burdened with top weight of 132 pounds but has the build to carry the weight and with the drop in grade, should prove hard to shake off.
