Of course, it's too early to make any definite decisions, but these are the five I like.
1) American Anthem - Lots of talent and speed here. Bred to route on both top and bottom. He does face a difficult pace test in the Rebel if Malagacy goes too.
2) Gunnevera - He sure has raced a lot, which makes the prospect of moving forward less likely. It is hard to knock the Fountain of Youth victory though. He did take advantage of a rapid pace, but drew clear with authority like a good closer should after the fast opening.
3) One Liner - On TimeformUS, this one is fast. It is a concern Todd Pletcher tends to fail in the Kentucky Derby. Some pedigree nerds might argue Into Mischief isn't a good longer distance sire.
4) Gormley - His San Felipe effort will cause the future book odds to go up in value. It looked bad at first glance. Yet, the pace was decent and he sparred with a talented frontrunner in Mastery. Expect a rebound in the Santa Anita Derby.
5) McCraken - Well, he had a setback. The news reports are trending in his favor, as it appears he has not lost too much time. Tapwrit flattered him in the Tampa Bay Derby.
Special Mention
Iliad - The son of Ghostzapper deserves some credit for pressing the San Felipe pace while wide. He hung around longer than Gormley did.
