(3) BLOOD OF EDEN is knocking on the door and can open her account.

(4) HUBERTUS HUNT and (7) COMIC ARTIST should not be too far off the action.

(5) CHICKASAW has the form to acquit herself competitively.

(4) DELAWARE RIVER can score after consecutive seconds, including one over the track and trip.
