There is no doubt that a rattling good race will be put up, but critics are of opinion that Webb must win A rust has done some good spins over the full course, and has shown that he can stay till the finishing cost is reached. 'Webb has also gone over the full course, and though times have not been divulged, his party are said to be quite confident as to the result of the race.
