Barsanti (10/11), Mirage Dancer (4/1), Salouen (6/1), God Given (8/1), Glencadam Glory (10/1), Scotland (33/1)
The form of BARSANTI's second in a Group 2 over course and distance is the best form in the race and he will prove hard to beat if he can reproduce something close to that effort. God Given could still be improving while Salouen has performed well at pattern level before.
