9th: Chicago (G3), F&M-4+, 7f (P3, DD, Hi-5)

Emery and Vahva can be respected here, but they seem far less scary than they were last year. Zeitlos and My Mane Squeeze are attractive numbers and good right now..

Wow. Absolutely loaded ALW. Invictus cutting back makes sense, but how do you not figure that Walden unlocks Keewaydin? Camp Hale broke through last time after finding tigers all winter and spring. David of Athens makes 3yo delayed debut and can be expected to compete with natural juvy to soph development..
