Unless one of the newcomers attracts a lot of support this probably lies between FLYING SPARKLE and Midsummer Knight, and although the latter is going well and has a fitness advantage Flying Sparkle looks the type to go on from a good first season and make a speedy 3-y-o this year. Dragstone Rock will know more this time around and can take third.
