Verdict
The Maurice Barnes-trained Kimdaloo is in good form at present and is difficult to oppose in a poor finale. The 10-year-old was a cosy winner over course and distance earlier this month in handicap company and gets the TEAMtalk vote to follow up. Dante's Brook, third at Perth on his first start for 22 months recently, has claims but may suffer from the "bounce" factor so the main danger to the selection may prove to be In Good Faith. The 10-year-old is best in on official BHB ratings but has been below par of late and is probably best left alone. Irlandais Ii has shown little sign of ability.
