Natal, gets the confident vote here with Miss Midnight and Albarino rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Fandani and although he has a penalty for that win this progressive type again has conditions to suit and he is taken to win again before goingh on to better trhings. Miss Midnight rastes the main danger on hetr latest second behind Pearly Bay but she gave the impression she would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and for that reason she is opposed. Albarino has place claims on his best form but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Xamborough has shown enough in two runs to date to suggest he can win a small race but he may be seen to better effectb once handicaped and for the weinner we return to Natal.
