11) PUERTO MANZANO
A multiple Gr 1 winner, PUERTO MANZANO will find his name on plenty of bet slips come the first Saturday of July. He’s won his last two runs in the Grade 3 Jubilee Stakes and the Grade 1 WSB Premier’s Champions Challenge, holding off a number of his HDJ rivals in the latter. If repeating those performances, and indeed the performance that saw him win the Betway Summer Cup, he’s certainly one that can score on July day.
