(# 6) TSUNAMIC - Was defeated by a runner in last who saved all the ground from his inside draw, while this colt had a very poor trip, being forced 5-6 wide around the far turn to the wire. Blinkers go on for trainer Tagg, and he only needs a clear trip.

(# 2) Howdyamissthisone - First two-turn attempt on the turf, and that should suit him just fine. Comes off a pair of top tries over the Belmont Lawn, and he is the most serious threat to the top pick.

(# 13) Dubliner - We'll include him as he is a must use if he runs. However he is on the also-eligible list and needs a scratch from the main body to run.

(#'s 4 and 10) Kick Up Your Hells and Subv. Action - Both of these horses are on the slight improve and they could have a bearing on the exacta.
