      Verdict

      Dimboola looks the one to be on in this sprint maiden after a decent debut effort when second behind Hellvelyn at Leicester earlier in the month. Barry Hills' runners are going well and this Averti colt ran green until picking things up later in the contest and shaping as though he would be a deal better for the experience and we will side with him. The market will also need watching here for any confidence in the selection's five opponents. King's Bastion's dam is a half-sister to the brilliant Attraction and as such she should go well over this sort of trip at two, especially with the yard in form. Barry Hills' other runner Captain Marvellous merits respect and he will know how straight that one is. Excellent Art was taken out of a race yesterday in favour of this less competitive introduction and could go well, while As One Does comes from another yard having winners, though this trip will be plenty short enough for the colt, and we take Dimboola to score.
