1. IRON FIST - 12/1 ML, Looks to be outclassed. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'X' (unlikely)

2. GIANT EXPECTATIONS - 12/1 ML, Looks to be outclassed. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'X' (unlikely)

3. SHARP AZTECA - 9/2 ML, fast horse, supertrainer. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'A' (win contender)

4. GATO DEL ORO - 30/1 ML, Shouldn't be in the race. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'X' (unlikely)

5. AWESOME SLEW - 12/1 ML, Good closer in good form. Good chance to hit the board. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'X' (unlikely)

6. MOR SPIRIT - 3/1 ML, fast horse, supertrainer. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'A' (win contender)

7. CUPID - 8/1 ML, fast horse, supertrainer. As far as win/multis I have him rated a 'C' (unlikely unknown)

8. ACCELERATE - 7/2 ML, keyed up and down in verticals last year @ 40-1... this year not much value. As far as win/multis I have him rated a 'B' (needs favorable trip).

9. BATTLE OF MIDWAY - 10/1 ML, Cool horse, great value in the Derby. As far as win/multis I have him rated an 'X' (unlikely)

10. PRACTICAL JOKE - 6/1 ML, So tired of hearing about how he needs one turn, that if I don't win, then I hope he wins. Then grabs a microphone and magically speaks, saying how much he loved the two turns today. Shouldn't be fast enough, but he's a good horse in good form for an elite trainer. As far as win/multis I have him rated a 'C' (unlikely unknown)
