#13 Karma is flying this preparation, and despite this being his toughest test yet, he looks ready to rise to the occasion under handicap conditions that suit him well. A decent pace in the race should also play to his strengths. #3 Massive Sovereign, last season's Derby winner, has been underwhelming in two starts since that victory but has been trialling impressively leading into this run. He’s ready to bounce back. #4 Chancheng Glory resumed well when third to Galaxy Patch in the G2 over a mile and typically makes his own luck on the pace, though his versatility will serve him well. #14 Ensued is out of the handicap, which raises some concerns, though he is a promising horse with further improvement to come.
