It'll work just fine.. If it does not you can use the KMC DX10SC which is a solid campy chain without the cost of campy..

Yes, it will work. In fact, Shimano 9-speed chains also work on Campy 10-speed cassettes and were commonly used when Campy 10-speed first came out and the matching Campy chains were so unreliable.
