3) MARINA 40/1
This five-year-old mare recently won the Victress Stakes but ran behind by the likes of MAKE IT SNAPPY and SPARKLING WATER in the Cartier Paddock Stakes. She has it all to do in the Met facing off against a very classy field.
Having said that, she does possess the kind of BMT that could spring a surprise. She finished second in the 2022 Brentford FC Garden Province Stakes on July day when a 40/1 outsider. Make of that what you will.
