Turbine (9/2), Koybig (9/2), Captain Joy (11/2), Aiseolas (7/1), Red Avenger (8/1), Overcoming (8/1), Wild As The Wind (10/1), Beach Bar (10/1), Jon Ess (10/1), Captain Cat (12/1), Have A Nice Day (16/1), Fashaar (20/1)
A tough one to call and only a tentative vote of confidence is put behind nominating AISEOLAS getting off the mark in a handicap at the second time of asking. Any cut in the ground would boost the filly's chances. Koybig, on the other hand, has a bit to prove regarding the trip, but has some solid efforts to his name and edges out Have A Nice Day as the best alternative this time around. Support for Wild As The Wind could also prove significant.
