Tara Mia (7/2), Open To The World (7/2), Unchago (11/2), Warreedy (8/1), Mr Bolt (10/1), Maureen's Star (10/1), Court Adjourned (10/1), Quiet Account (12/1), Crutches Lad (12/1), Our Bonus (12/1), Nabraska (14/1)

This will not take a lot of winning, something demonstrated by the fact the 14yo Mr Bolt can be given a reasonable chance of success. Tara Mia will probably be the one to beat if she can put a clear round together but that's not a guarantee. Open To The World looks sure to be in the frame if she runs her race but despite some awful looking form figures it might be worth chancing OUR BONUS, who has run a little better than her form figures suggest and might be capable of the surprise. Nabraska has been pitched in the right race to begin with and can be considered.
