Donald gets the confident vote with Mister Flint and Medici rating there main dangers. The selection won well last time when defeating Gan Eagla, he again has conditions to suit and despite his penalty he will be hard to beat as he has plenty of scope for improvement. Mister Flint rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Cyborg Du Sou Last time and he is likely to be suited by this faster ground so he will not be far away. Medici showed a modicum of ability last season and is from a top yard so he is worth noting in the market but his over all form leaves him with a little to find. Stroppy Syd is from a yard in top form and is another to note but his breeding suggests he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Breaking Ball was a fair third behind Lyrical Way last time and is another with place claims but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Donald.
