Hot Zone gets the confident vote here with Look of Eagles and Loch Quest rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Maree Hall and if he can reproduce that effort here then he should be the one to be on. Look Of Eagles rates the main danger on his latest second behind Saprano. He is sure to have come on for the run but he will be handicapped after this run and that is where his future may lie. Loch Quest is another that could go well on his latest third behind Weelhaveit but that form has since been let down and he is taken on with this in mind. Depraux was well backed last time out but was very disappointing. However he is clearly thought capable of better and should be watched in the market. Decree Nisi could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers but he will need to do so to trouble our selection Hot Zone.
