Verdict
Ramvaswani is capable but tends not to find much at the business end of races so looks best left out of calculations in a race taken to go to Tony Carroll's consistent performer KINKEEL, who can gain a well deserved success having been knocking on the door in recent outings. Gerald Ham's Brigadore has claims but is little better than plating class and may be booked for a place at best again, while Dianne Sayer's Bocciani could probably do with some help from the handicapper. The lightly raced Django Reinhardt and consistent but frustrating Frosty's Gift are others to consider but Kinkeel is marginally preferred in a tough closing event.
