Effectively a mares race with the two geldings Auldthunder and Atlas Peak holding little and no chance respectively. Market support would be notable for Mayze Bell and Honeychile Ryder, but both of those mares have appeared of very limited ability so far. Gogo Baloo has improved for wind surgery, but she should play second fiddle to the the mud-lark RIVABODIVA who will never have a better opportunity to record a second career success.
