Genuine tempo from Foxtrot Charlie leading Maynard. First heat of the Future Stars Series Final but it looks tough. CYBER LINK (2) is a Bivouac colt on debut for the Greg Eurell yard. He's looked good at the trials, winning a 1000m heat at Caulfield Heath a month ago. Expect him to measure up strongly. SALUDAR (7) is a colt by top sire Written Tycoon who steps out for the Begg yard. He's jumped out quite well and has to be respected for the top yard from the inside gate. FOXTROT CHARLIE (3) stuck on fairly well on debut at Mornington for third and should come on from that. He can be in this for a long way. LA DIVINA (12) is another Written Tycoon progeny, a filly for the Eurell yard who has jumped out well at Cranbourne and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cyber Link to win.
