4 Marron Laser gets the tip in this open race. Has one win and four second places in nine starts and shows consistent and good form. Can open fast.
6 Guilia di Masi has two wins in seven starts this year and has done really well at the end. Good chance with the right trip.
7 Ivy League also seems in good form but has been got a difficult lane. Needs a bit of luck from here but is definitely an early choice.
8 Leeds was second last time in a tougher race. Has a tough number but is still possible.
3 Denniz Popp has shown good speed at the beginning of his career, but has not always been reliable. If he is as good as two starts back, he will be very hard to beat. Jepson for the first time is highly interesting.
4 Global Genzebe has not been reliable either but was strong in the last race and challenges without a mistake.
6 Let's Go Butcher makes his debut for a new trainer and has done quite well so far. Towards the front?
2 Palicka Bob can finish in the top three.
2 In Deference has galloped in two straight starts, which is obviously not optimal. However, the horse shows good capacity and will normally be in the fight.
5 Next Level Mearas did alright in his debut but will be improved by that run under his belt. Contender.
6 Kid Antrim Zet makes his debut for Daniel Redén. Qualified nicely.
8 Kendall Diablo looked nice in the qualifier. Björn Röcklinger usually has his horses in good shape straight away.
