(# 5) BELZ - Looks all set for a wire-to-wire win by the Tom Bush barn. Can take these with an alert and trouble-free beginning.

(# 6) Stopbluffing - Obvious contender ran too good to lose last out, doing all the hard work only to be run down by a dead closer.

(# 3) New York Moon - Last showed some sneaky improvement. Appears to be coming around for the Contessa barn.

(# 7) Nine Positives - Possible that strong closer will make up enough ground to get into the tri.
