Genuine tempo with a few of these capable of running them along. ENCHANTING CHOICE (3) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish third, beaten only 1.3 lengths, this course and distance. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender back in this class. HELIOTROPE (6) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end before most recently finished third over 2000m at Fairview All Weather. No surprise to see her atone. FAMILY POWER (5) is back after a break of three months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Worth plenty of thought. EPIKLEROS (1) is close to a win and one of the chances.
