Ilaraab (9/4), Thunderous (10/3), Max Vega (9/2), Raymond Tusk (15/2), Invite (15/2), Stowell (8/1), Red Verdon (28/1)

ILARAAB goes well at this course and he was successful on last season's reappearance, so he gets the marginal vote in a tightly-knit contest. Thunderous is the form pick and should be tuned up, so he's also on the radar with Max Vega, who was runner-up to the selection when last seen.
