Which bleeder valve to bleed when replacing this one brake hose? 200

I need to replace one of my front brake hoses immediately in order to pass inspection. No time or money to do all of them at this time.

Scorro mentioned using the "gravity" method, and I'd like to try that. Can someone say how long that should take for just one bleeder?

To start, I've used a stick to press the brake pedal down half-way or so, and put a sheet of polywrap between the reservoir cap and reservoir in order to block it from drawing air and allowing brake fluid to flow too much when I remove the brake hose.

It's the rightmost brake hose looking at the caliper, and is the top going into the rear of the caliper.

I don't know which bleeder corresponds to that hose. There are three- one in the middle of each caliper, then one on top of the rear caliper.

Which bleeder should I bleed after replacing this hose?

Thanks,
