MIDNIGHT TANGO very much caught the eye when a fast-finishing second in a 6f course listed event in June. Her subsequent fourth in the Princess Margaret at Ascot was no bad run and she gets the vote now stepping up to 7f with Oisin Murphy taking the reins for the first time. The Johnston stable has a good recent record in this race and Venetian Lace could be a big threat if keeping straighter than she did in the Superlative over C&D at the July meeting. Dance To The Stars is next on the list.
