All of these are either returning from an absence or ran badly last time. COOL BARANCA gets a tentative vote as she is fit from competing and winning on the Flat. Voyage A New York was well beaten on his recent reappearance, as was Captain Brown, but Master Red has leading claims if somewhere near his best on his return. Circus Star is another with a chance on his first start since March while Fisher has a recent pipe-opener on the Flat under his belt.
