Forecasts

Circumbendibus (9/4), Position Of Power (10/3), Mar Del Plata (9/2), Jet Legacy (6/1), Donquerari (13/2), Connery (11/1), City Of Love (12/1), Captain's Christy (20/1), Mojo Man (20/1), Passage Of Power (25/1), First Origin (50/1)

Verdict

CIRCUMBENDIBUS is just about the best hope here taking everything into account so is taken to get off the mark for 2026. Position of Power could be the biggest competition, while Connery can make the first three as well.
