Lion's Mane (3/1), Ahesta Bero (5/1), Golden Arch (5/1), Military Option (7/1), Maputo (17/2), Bosphorus (10/1), Untold Secret (18/1), Dubai Vision (20/1), Aldhaja (20/1), Solar Science (20/1), Daneyan (22/1), Alwareeth (22/1), Flame Talon (22/1), Mawtini (22/1), Miller's House (40/1), Ramaah (40/1)

Verdict

GOLDEN ARCH represents strong connections and gets the vote in a competitive contest. Lion's Mane can give him most to think about, while Military Option is another who enters the equation.
