The Richard Fahey-trained Kamenka sets a decent standard here and is marginally preferred over Brain Washed and Rampage, who are obviously unexposed and would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to take a race like this. The last named in bred to make an impact at this sort of trip and hails from a yard that always have to be respected with their two-year-olds at this course and support for this daughter of Pivotal can be considered significant. Worryingly though, is the fact that Richard Hills is 0-from-12 from his mounts for the yard this season and his mount may again lack the experience to alter that statistic tonight. Brain Washed looked to be going the right way after her latest start and, like Scooby Dooby Doo, she can make an impact in the future and may need more time. Therefore, it may be prudent to stick by the official assessor, who has Kamenka marginally as the best horse at this stage. The daughter of Wolfhound would be giving weight away all round if this were a handicap and looks to have been found a good platform to launch herself from this season.
