in this 14 horse field, I have to respect the three inside horses, especially since they're ridden by JR, Flores, and Gomez (doesn't hurt that they're trained by Pletcher, Drysdale, and Kiaran either). a ground saving trip could put any of the three right there at the weights.

my key will be Galantas at ml of 30-1. well bred colt has really blossomed under Motion. ran behind slow paces in last two. looking for a run in the '1-2' range, which will make him competitive at the weights.

Remarkable News is the tough call. if he breaks running and hits the half in front in :47, he's going to be tough to run down.
