Verdict

Kamal is given the vote in a tricky looking contest, Scientific and Dusk Ballet could provide the most danger. The selection has only had two outings and has been very green. However despite hanging badly last time, he ran better than the finishing position and the step up in trip should suit. Scientific was dropped to this grade last time out and ran really well to finish just three and half lengths behind Countrywide Comet. However that winner is trained by Kevin Ryan so he should know how he stands with that rival. Dusk Ballet's best effort came over course and distance in September and a repeat effort would see her go close. Rich Kid won nicely last time out and looks the best of the others, but Kamal has more scope for improvement than most and he gets the decision.
