Jetara (2/1), Mel Monroe (2/1), Banntown Girl (7/2), A Penny A Hundred (6/1), Mayor's Walk (14/1), Mount Sinai (25/1), Pastorale (33/1)
MAYOR'S WALK and A Penny A Hundred do not possess the same depth of form as some of these but they're both very promising fillies and look ready for this step up in class. The latter is 2-2 and isn't passed over lightly but Mayor's Walk is marginally preferred. Banntown Girl is just about the form pick and is third choice ahead of Jetara and Mel Monroe.
