Zihba (2/9), Irish Minister (7/2), Jazz Lady (20/1), Lucky Red (20/1), Charmed Pearl (40/1)

There is no getting away from how impressive ZIHBA was on debut when taking the scalp of future winner Port Lions here before Christmas. Any repeat of that run should have the colt in the winners enclosure once more. Irish Minister will be all the more interesting when competing in handicaps in future can follow the selection home.
