Perfect Judgement (4/1), Back Down Under (9/2), Ocean Baroque (9/2), Carnegie Hall (6/1), Emperor Of Rome (13/2), Gloucester (8/1), McTenett (10/1), Gandolfo (11/1), Dramatic Entrance (12/1), Clarita (14/1), Jalaybee (16/1), Glamorously (20/1), Staysound Susie (20/1), Neo Smart (20/1), Gold Coast Galleon (28/1)

Plenty to consider with GANDOLFO shading the vote off what looks a fair opening mark. Ocean Baroque and Emperor of Rome head the dangers.
