HOT CHOICE (9) Johan Janse Van Vuuren 3yo by Futura having first start. Jockey K De Melo adds value. Respect the betting. RISING EAGLE (6) Did well when 2nd last time around here and fitter for debut run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Gets the perfect draw. Must respect. ELUSIVE DRAGON (8) Close to claiming the win last time at this venue. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has to be strongly considered. OCTOBER REEF (5) Looked good when 3rd last time around here and having second career run. Contender.

Ran 4th last start here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Divesh Ramkhalawon provides some weight relief. Could feature here.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at the track and was on debut last time. Strong claims in this.

Placed 2nd last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Might be ridden for luck. Can save some energy from the draw. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Was $67.00 and came in 8th last run at this venue. Expected to settle towards the tail. Others make far more appeal.

3yo debutant by Futura for Johan Janse Van Vuuren. Jockey K De Melo rates highly aboard. Watch for a sign in the market.
