4 Opal Kiro has not started since the beginning of October and he has actually not won since March. Owns great speed for this class. He took three wins in a row during the winter last year and is our pick here.

5 Guli Sanna has galloped in three straight starts but has the speed to challenge.

8 Franko M.R. has been strong lately but needs to set a new record to fight for victory here.

6 Grim returns after a layoff.

11 Song Of E. Street has won five of twelve starts. He met tough opponents in the last comeback race and is certainly improved now. Our idea.

9 Gaagaalicious has not won yet this year but did quite well as third for his new trainer in the last race. Should be on the way up and is an early choice.

10 Undercover O. has been consistent and good and comes from a second place. Fine form and should be considered early.

7 Ferret has only one win in 28 starts. Is quite consistent and could be an outsider in this field.

11 Steady Express has shown great development. It will probably not be an easy trip this time, but he has shown before that he can do it tough. Our pick.

2 Steady Roc has been very unlucky lately, but still put in strong performances in almost all starts. Well drawn now and could take the lead.

4 Pure Atlas is not reliable, but has high capacity for this class.

9 Blue Boy Face is really good for this company too.
