United Nation (5/2), Bank Street (5/2), Pinetti (5/1), Beamonesque (11/2), Tripping Thunder (11/1), Magic Surprise (12/1), Ilha Da Orange (12/1), Preemptive Strike (14/1), Fortress Of Fire (16/1), Apex Predator (20/1)

Verdict

BANK STREET looks marginally the best of these but this is an open race. Preemptive Strike is the most pragmatic second choice, while Fortress of Fire might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
