A number of promising three-year-olds with big-race aspirations line up. FUTURE SWING was a good second in his first run out the maidens, albeit in receipt of 4kg from the winner. He is distance suited and should play a role in the outcome with further progress likely. KZN raider KITCHAKAL made a pleasing Cape debut when second in a stronger 1400m race. He tries this trip for the first time and must concede weight to all but races off the same mark, so need only repeat that effort to play a leading role. Of the others, SCALINI and MAX THE OTTER appear most likely to pose a threat.
