Crocodile Dundee, Windsor Knot and Khyber Kim are three against the field in a tough race to call and the vote is given to Crocodile Dundeen. The selection ran well after a long abscence whern third behind Best Alibi last time outis sure to strip fitter here and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet. Windsor Knot rates the main daznger as he won well last time when beating Kyber Kim, they race off identical terms here and there is no reason why he wont beat that rival again but he has a little to find with the selection. Of the remainder Something Exciting has conditions to suit but has not progressed as expected and for the winner we return to Crocodile Dundee who looks sure to improve.
