is the horse to beat, but could be an underlay. Obvious type who ran well in the Breeders Cup. I don't want to bet or pick the
. He could win as an underlay. He could also be that dominant that he's so much the best in here that he'll be a fair price. I'll take the contrarian stance.
I liked
's Woodward. He's the logical 2nd-choice.
the
was impressive 2-back. He could be hot now, and it wouldn't be obvious to the public, given his weak class.
the
is kind of in that same boat, but we have seen him not be fast enough in several opportunities. As a long-shot I actually like that he was too sluggish in the somewhat slow-paced Fayette, and should be trained up to sharpen here.
