Forecasts

Eldeyaar (10/3), Due Date (7/2), Blue Collar Lad (7/2), Fantasy Navigator (15/2), Q Twenty Boy (9/1), Kessaar Power (10/1), Gidwa (16/1), Rebel Redemption (18/1), Kodi Hawk (25/1), Miss Billie (25/1), Mutabaahy (28/1)

This looks wide open and the suggestion is BLUE COLLAR LAD, who boasts a good record at this course and he's 3 lb lower compared to when finishing third over C&D on his penultimate start. Eldeyaar performed with credit here last time and should be in the mix once again. He is second choice ahead of Due Date and Kessaar Power.
