In depth
Verdict
Kamenka may be worth chancing over Imtalkinggibberish and Future Deal, with Frabrofen open to some improvement as well. Kamenka has stepped up a gear lately, finishing third at Catterick and Redcar, the assistance of a visor on the latter occasion no doubt helping the filly to go very close. This will be her Polytrack debut although she has turned out at Wolverhampton in the past, and though she may thrive over another furlong in future, she can prove the answer here. Imtalkinggibberish posted a fair second at Newmarket in August and since then has started to slip down the ratings, perhaps enough to figure here along with Future Deal who shaped well on her second start at Windsor. Frabrofen overcame a slow start to finish second on her Newcastle debut and should have no problem losing her maiden tag, but for for now we prefer the claims of the more experienced Kamenka.
