13/2

Arabic Welcome (2/1), Visibility (11/4), Jack D'Or (13/2), Win Win Power (7/1), Corked (7/1), Hot Team (17/2), Critical Thinking (9/1), Never Said Nothing (10/1), Tanqeeb (11/1), First Dance (18/1), Final Attack (20/1), Henry Croft (66/1)

VISIBILITY picked up nicely to score over C&D 7 days ago and could be up to defying a penalty on just his fourth outing for Scott Dixon. Plenty of others have feasible claims, most notable of whom are the in-form mare Corked and 8-time course winner Critical Thinking.
