Best Odds
Bred to improve with age; related to 1m1½f winner French Legion; early foal; this doesn't look easy against experienced rivals so probably best watched.

Finished fifth of eight on his debut at Turffontein at 14-1 last month; plenty of appeal as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred son of Erupt and he has a bit of experience under his belt.

Could not finish better than fifth on his debut at Turffontein (just behind Time Will Tell) at 25-1 last month; should be in the mix if giving a more streetwise showing.

Course debutants for this yard have to be taken seriously; one to be interested in with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire gets speedy types.

Verdict
Tin Pan Alley might have a say, and Secret Warrior poses a serious threat to the tip. However, LAVA COUNTY looks a solid choice. He can improve for his first appearance and can be expected to come on for the debut run.
