There's not much between those likely to be in the mix - Future Africa has been stacking up the good efforts while Jp Two Thousand may have his stamina stretched over this trip. However, the verdict goes to VIVA DE JANEIRO who didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since) and has won at the course before.
