Scotty's Future, Absolute Utopia and Free Option look the main protagonists in this seller and the confident vote goes to Scotty's Future. The selection won well in this grade a couple of runs ago and connections paid a lot of money to retain him. He was then well beaten in a handicap but with Johnny Murtagh coming over for the ride he can get his association with David Loder off to a flying start. Absolute Utopia was a head behind Scotty's Future last time but she will need to improve to gain her revenge on these terms. Free Option has the ability to win but needs everything to fall right to score and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Muqtadi is better over a longer trip so for the winner we return to Scotty's Future.
