Good list. A couple more possibilities might be Bolo and The Gomper.

Bolo can run all day and is going down the road Imperia has gone. Last one was great. He is rather fast but may be able to carry his speed a long way. The Gomper has Mom's Command as his 2nd dam. Not overly impressed by his debut win as he closed in to very fast fractions and got beat his last out but he seems capable with some more experience.

Looking forward to Eagle running in the Lecomte. Hopefully he runs well, I really like his pedigree...female family of Mt Livermore!

I'm looking forward to seeing Runhappy. He ran so green in his maiden romp at Turfway Park. It will be interesting to see just how talented he is, being thrown into deep waters in the Lecomte Stakes in just his second start.

Nasa is another possibility. May improve as the season goes on, and John Servis has been there and done that.
