DARK PASSENGER has gone from having the widest draw to gate one. His debut run was eye-catching, so he is in with a big chance. His rider Kabelo Matsunyane was aboard another horse that turned in a fair effort on debut. RAIN IN FRANCE, a well-bred son of Futura as well, ran on well in his first start. He has been gelded and now has Richard Fourie up. WAR HAWK is one to watch out for. He has shown and having needed his last two runs could come on in leaps and bounds. CANNON BOLT ran no kind of race from a decent draw last time but showed potential prior and must be watched.
