Justify: Baffert/Smith
Good Magic: Brown/J. Ortiz
Bravazo: Lukas/Contreras?
Lone Sailor: Amoss/I. Ortiz
Quip: Brisset/Geroux
Sporting Chance: Lukas/Contreras?
Tenfold: Asmussen/Santana
Diamond King: Servis/Castellano
Not quite the official field but this is it at this point. Forecast calls for rain all week. The top two will be tough beats. Quip is fresh has a style that is suitable for the race. Diamond King is the local with JC up and might appreciate the distance. That's one I'll use to potentially spice up the gimmicks. Lone Sailor and Bravazo could be good enough for a minor award. Sporting Chance and Tenfold might be in over head.
Not going to get paid much this race but I'll take a few swings.
Exacta: No use boxing the chalk. If I play it I will dump one of the favorites.
Trifecta: Justify/Good Magic/Diamond King, Lone Sailor, Quip
A smaller saver play flipping the top two and another flipping the place and show.
Superfecta: Same plays using the show horses in fourth spot.
Hi5: Will take a small swing if it is available again.
Black-Eyed Susan/Preakness Double: I'll need to scout the BES but this wager has occasionally paid well in spite of chalk on one end.
