A wide open contest here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Krasivi's Boy, Native American and Miss Midnight and the narrow vote is given to Native American. The selection was a fair fifth behind No Complaint last time out, that form has since been franked and off what looks a fair mark he looks a value bet. Krasivi's Boy rates the main danger on his latest third behind Super Sensation but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and he is taken on with this in mind. Miss Midnight is another that could go well on her latest fourth behind Thunder Child but the drop in trip has to be of concern and she looks opposable on that basis. Harry's Lane could improve for the fitting of first time cheek-pieces but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Of the remainder Final Promise is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market while Posh Act could go well at a price but has shown little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence and for the winner we return to Native American.
