In depth
Verdict
Karinga Dancer has shown good pace on both starts to date and will make his presence felt while Kowloon will have benefited for his introduction here last month behind Scales. GETAWAY DRIVER couldn't cope with the promising Arbeo at Folkestone but that was a fair effort and he can go one better on today's quicker ground. Gumball and Goonyella may prove the pick of the newcomers with the latter in particular looking to have a nice pedigree.
