Sprinkled Ivory has been in rude health of late and looks the obvious starting point, while Wallstreet Stick Up caught the eye last time and cannot be underestimated. However, COULSON ran a stormer when a good second last time and he is just preferred.
Half-sister to Stetson Gold, won at 5f. Newcomer hasn't looked anything special in the mornings.

It is hard to see past winning machine HALF DOME DUDE who has won her last three with consummate ease and could continue to progress. Back in this grade, Success Rate looks an obvious threat along with the likeable Botch.

A few of these have questions to answer but not so DUPLICATE COPY who broke his maiden in good style last time and looks to be progressing. Beach Mode and Curly Creek must both be respected on the class drop.

General Info has more on his plate than when bolting up last time while Eye Of The Hunter might have to settle for another supporting role. FLOWER BEACH might be the one despite failing to justify favouritism last time. He has been in good heart of late and goes well here.

This should take much winning and EL SUNDAR should be able to open his account with some solid recent form in the book. Bribe The Judge shaped with promise on debut and looks the obvious threat, with One Last Hit maybe next best.

The hat-trick seeking Parched seems sure to prove popular but it could be worth taking a chance on GAME ON JUSTICE, who has been in rude health himself of late and could have more to offer. Cause I'm Gold is also respected.

Black Tornado has a fair bit to prove now so preference is for AMBIDEXTROUS DUKE, who has been knocking hard on the door of late and looks a solid option. Fusaichi Samurai is also worth noting.
