Guessing

Back again. 32 acceptors now the panel has to select top 20 and two reserve runners. Don't envy them seperating a few borderline cases with similar form.

Wesley, Marcus has a retainer to ride Mr Jooste's horses first. He would not have had a choice as Vettel is a Jooste horse and Ilha Bela is not.

Ilha Bela last 4 Graded runs Marcus has got the ride for De Kock. Where as Delpech got the ride on Vettel in the Daily news 2000 & Marcus rode Tarrys horse whiteline fever which Jooste has part ownership, was just thinking the Jockeys would of stuck with their horses for the Big race VDJ as both have big chances & its obvious they got a feel for the horses in the prep. Ihla Bela is my pick for the VDJ & was hoping Marcus would retain the ride.

Would not like to rain on anyone's parade, but Vettel imo has a better chance than Ilha Bela in any case
