Notre Belle Bete (5/4), Forest Falcon (9/2), Top Secret (11/2), Rebel Territory (11/2), Sinjaari (15/2), Gifted Ruler (8/1), Oh This Is Us (10/1), Muraad (11/1), Beringer (22/1)

SINJAARI is at his best when fresh and has the ability to defy a mark of 106, so he gets the nod in an open-looking event. The well-treated Oh This Is Us looks a major threat and another big run from Notre Belle Bete would come as no surprise.
