It's hard to make a strong case for any of these in their current form. LUJEANIE is a course and distance winner and dropped in class so gets a speculative vote but is hardly reliable. Eager To Bow has slipped down the handicap but hasn't won since 2012. Kuanyao, however, was winning tougher claimers than this on the Polytrack here early in the year and warrants respect. The remainder are hard to fancy at the weights.
