Elusive Belle (7/2), King Bavarian (6/1), Count Marsh (6/1), Connoisseur (13/2), Galaxy Explorer (15/2), Festival Of Magic (15/2), Basie Raakvat (12/1), Sweeter Than Honey (12/1), Blazing Light (14/1), Shiny Bob (16/1), Animal Impact (18/1), Attaboy (18/1), Mississippi Spice (20/1), Joan The Wad (33/1)

Verdict

SWEETER THAN HONEY is selected tentatively but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Joan The Wad is most likely the sternest threat, while Count Marsh also needs a second look.
