Verdict
GAMBINO can be forgiven his recent below-par run in a novelty event at Doncaster. He'd been holding his form well before that and has as good a chance as any in this. Hanalei Bay's three wins this year have all come in lesser company while Funding Deficit and Lil Sophella won Class 6 contests on their latest starts. The latter beat Dark Crystal and Spavento at Hamilton. Bahamian C remains 9lb higher than his latest win so Another For Joe and Camerooney make more appeal.
