Moyhamen is due for a good trip if the racing gods are just.  He was atop everyone’s list early on, but bad trips melted away his support. Shagaf diddled in his last race, but that’s not the horse he was. Brody’s Cause looked great in his last, but he’s in post 19 without AmPh’s talent. Suddenbreakingnews, despite his annoying name, is always there. My Man Sam has run very well of late. 
Nyquist and Exaggerator look to be best of the bunch based on what I’ve seen.  The rest in the top ten can all have a cause made for them. 



Other Entrants


Danzig Candy is most intriguing, but has so very far to go. I also like Lani, Destin, and Outwork; but they haven’t knocked me off my feet.  Lani is a mystery to some degree. Creator hasn’t impressed me.
