Florida (11/4), Jeff Koons (3/1), Hickory (3/1), Daysofourlives (9/2), Metal Merchant (5/1), Orbaan (10/1), Stormbuster (11/1), Dawn Of Liberation (12/1), Sweet Reward (14/1), Sterling Knight (16/1), Raising Sand (18/1)

A tightly-knit affair due to the conditions of the race but unexposed 3-y-os JEFF KOONS and Florida represent excellent yards and they could easily have more to offer. Marginal preference is for the former dropped in trip, with rock-solid handicapper Hickory completing the shortlist.
