Verdict
Super Dolphin, Kalou and In The Frame are three against the field in this competitive opener and the vote is given to the last named. The selection won well last time out when beating Kercabellec and although he has a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he need only reproduce that effort to score.Super Dolphin rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Singed And Dated but that was in a seller and he needs to improve again to win off this mark. Kalou would be a danger to all on his second behind Nowator a couple of runs ago but he has since disappointed so can not be put forward with any confidence. Vigoureux is another with place claims on his best form but all his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Stage Friendly is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to In The Frame who at least is in form.
