Oh Boy! Thats a tough one. Im thinking to early to even guess!
But I do have an idea for a few of them:
1. Arrogate - 99.9% chance of winning.
3. Gun Runner - The only Threat.
5. Bolt D'Oro - Single on Top
7. Free Drop Billy - Appears in Superfecta.
10. Keen Ice - Possible 4th
11. Gunnevera - Over his Head.
12. West Coast - Surface Questions
(Still working on numbers, need more time.) |

Arrogate - almost certainly the winner, but still depends which Arrogate shows up
Gun Runner - hard working bridesmaid, will he be given an opportunity to seize?
Bolt d'Oro - brilliant, likely winner
Free Drop Billy - with added distance, haven't seen his best yet, threat
Gunnevera - why?
West Coast - unlikely to be his day
Lady Eli - (bows down before her) - love this horse
Oscar Performance - will he run so soon after the International?

1. Arrogate- Last Hurrah... Needs a trip IMO
2. Stellar Wind- Tough as nails; Should win
3. Gun Runner- Really good. Only a 100% Arrogate can beat him
4. Abel Tasman- Tailing off; Long campaign
5. Bolt D'Oro- LOVE. Already handled track and distance
6. Lady Eli- LOVE, but turf is tricky
7. Free Drop Billy- Should hit the board
8. Oscar Performance- Might be too much...
9. Lady Aurelia- Clear favorite IMO
10. Keen Ice- Lives on the board; needs lots of pace
11. Gunnevera- Kinda Sneaky... runs well off layoff
12. West Coast- Victim of pace in this one.
13. Mind Your Biscuits- Beneficiary of pace in Sprint
14. Drefrong- Not this time...
15. Unique Bella- Yes... perfect for her.
