Elogio (11/4), Mister Barclay (9/2), Velasco (13/2), Onewaywest (8/1), Heard That (9/1), One Step Up (10/1), Emotional Roller (12/1), Bataillon (12/1), Strackan (16/1), Samourai One (22/1), Jeu Sacre (33/1), Mahler Moon (33/1)

There should be more to come from ONEWAYWEST on this quick switch to handicaps and, representing a yard among the winners, he's just about the most persuasive option. Velasco seems sure to give a good account, with Heard That of interest now his stamina is drawn out.
