Latent Heat could likely be the best horse there which isn't saying a ton. Keyed Entry I suppose. Half Ours is he does it for you. Not exactly any HOY candidates in that group.

All kidding aside, it's February 26th, somehow I think there will be some horses in the Met that can run a little bit ( and Half Ours is not one of them ). I understand what you are saying about the division, but you are also forgetting one thing that COULD make the Carter stronger than last year, and that's polytrack. The Commonwealth came up unusually full last year, which may well have affected the Carter, and perhaps this year more will opt for the Carter. The likelihood that the Carter is as weak as last year is next to nil.
It's just way too early to decide these races are " coming up weak ".
