Reward For Effort (3) and Manhattan Rain (5) have drawn well and must come into serious consideration. I am still yet to be convinced about Rostova (9) after her failure in the Diamond and I don't like the Sires Produce form.

Phelan Ready (18) and Marquardt (16) were my two roughies but they might struggle a bit from out there.
