The move up by Closing Argument was not extreme and his line looks solid to me. A pair up probably wins today against this bunch.
High Fly was never comfortable in the last
(not many were) but he should get a much improved trip today. The better trip will put him right there at the finish.
Afleet Alex is another that has a solid line to me and will be close but for some reason
I don't think he's good enough to win one of these big races.
Giacomo may lose too much ground this time but has the running style to be dangerous if
Mike Smith can find the right holes again. The horse is good right now and always gives a good account in his races.
I think the pace will be hot again (not burning hot as the Derby) and the stalkers/closers will reap the rewards.
Best of luck to all!!
