Elhafei (6/5), Soaring Star (11/4), Kells (8/1), Kabuto (8/1), Bobba Tee (12/1), Gerrots (14/1), Lleyton (33/1), Magellan (40/1)

ELHAFEI won in the style of one capable of going in again over C&D 12 days ago, so he's expected to follow up, perhaps at the main expense of Kabuto, who could have more to offer as a 4-y-o back from 9 months off. Soaring Star didn't convince entirely with his attitude last time but can still make his presence felt.
