Special Mention:
Media Naranja stands out as the highest-rated horse with a recent career-best win, making her a strong contender. Space Tourist, with her impressive win and potential for improvement, is another horse to watch out for. La Prima Donna, despite her previous mishap, is a useful hurdler and could be in contention.
