Gladatorian (6/4), Coin Spinner (3/1), Swing Upon A Star (4/1), Donquerari (12/1), Good Traveller (14/1), Pray For Rain (16/1), Captain Casey (16/1), Beechamwood Boy (18/1), Cabinet Shuffle (20/1), Ensuing (20/1), Ishnana (33/1), Barzalona (33/1)

Verdict

SWING UPON A STAR is selected rather gingerly but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Donquerari can also take a hand, while Beechamwood Boy could well have a say too.
