Verdict

Another open affair which can go to the hat-trick seeking Kames Park ahead of Nordwind and I Have Dreamed to name just two. Ian Semple's progressive five-year-old has been in fine fettle since the turn of the year and having won easily off a mark of 90 last time out, today's mark of 94 now back on the turf should be within his grasp. Trip and ground are fine and assuming there is a decent gallop (should be with Ti Adora and I Have Dreamed in the lineup), he must have solid claims of going in again. Money for Terry Mills' runner I Have Dreamed would be significant, whilst Sienna Storm and Solent may should find this easier than previous races. Nordwind is a course and distance winner so must have claims, especially now dropped back to this trip. The consistent pair of Nawamees and Tranquilizer are two more to consider but for the winner we will stick with Kames Park.
