for what it's worth (nothing no doubt), here is my opinion on your five horses...
Request for Parole: excellent tactical speed makes him dangerous, human connections a major negative.... needs a lot of luck
Private Emblem: moves way up in the slop... fast horse who will need a perfect stalking trip to get the job done. again, needs a lot of luck here.
Perfect Drift: with Eddy D., this horse figures to tuck in early, and make a run from 7 to 10 lengths off the pace. class a question, but a strong late run is very possible at nice odds.
Castle Gandolfo: no idea....well bred, excellent human connections. won't even see the horse until the post parade, so this is just gambling.
Saarland: bet him in Vegas back in February at decent odds, so I am rooting for him. the horse does, however, need the race to collapse in order to win. will be overbet.... for Shug and JR fans like myself only, smart guys stay away.
