Beveragino (11/8), Expensive Queen (4/1), Darnation (15/2), Eagle Beam (15/2), Magical Circle (17/2), Doubletalk (10/1), Lava Stream (12/1)

With most of the field newcomers the market will offer valuable clues, but one who makes plenty of appeal on paper is EXPENSIVE QUEEN, who represents a stable going better with its 2-y-os again (had a couple of recent winners). Darnation is second choice, while Beveragino seems sure to put her experience to good use.
