Aldaary (11/4), Powhatan (11/4), Dashing Dick (5/1), Desert Boots (5/1), Motorious (6/1), Media Guest (12/1), Hell Of A Year (33/1)

The standard set by those who have run isn't all that high, and newcomers ALDAARY and Desert Boots may well come to the fore. The former has already been gelded, but he cost plenty when resold as a yearling, and makes more appeal on paper. Powhatan should come on from his debut, but certainly needs to.
