Grand Theft Equine looks the best of those with experience, though that's not saying much in this company. His best efforts so far came over C&D earlier in the year and he could figure, but one of the newcomers may well be up to landing this. Vertibes is a first foal whose dam won over a shorter trip in France, but CALYPSO CAY makes more appeal as he's a half-brother to a winner and any strong support in the betting would boost confidence.
