Like Baffert said-Sharp Humor will be in front-of the second wave.

Two separate races going on as long as Sinister Minister isn't buried out of the gate.

Sharp Humor and Keyed Entry both dig in and fight.That makes Barbaro,Brother Derek and a pulling Lawyer Ron have to work really hard just to be in position to get first run on Sinister Minister.The way this races shapes up makes me want to toss all of those second wave horses.

Now I have to answer three key questions:

1-How far can Sinister Minister go on an uncontested lead?

2-Can Sweetnorthernsaint run a winning race given how the race shapes up? He'd likely have to sit behind most or all of the above horses to be effective.

3-Sinister Minister and SNS both jumped up with tops into negative territory.When horses run off the screen like that I always expect at least some regression in the next one.How much is the question?

I'll probably end up using one or both with Bob and John as my key.

Also looking at Point Determined and Cause to Believe as underneath types.

The others under consideration are trained by the Lukas disciples who seem to find their way onto the board in this race at big odds:

Sunriver,Bluegrass Cat,Jazil and Flashy Bull.Tossing everything else.
