High Cotton (#6) - With the short field today, this race will probably be a battle for speed and if that's the case, this monster 3-year-old will be right there. Last race was Grade III at Churchill Downs, where he was bumped at the start, got hung 4 wide, and still managed to stay up front the whole way and beat Simon Pure at the wire and Sayhellotolarry, who finished 3rd. Top threat. Deputy Glitters

(#5) - Last efforts were The Belmont and Kentucky Derby, where he was a bit outclassed. He is where he belongs today, as his best race ever came going 1 1/16 miles in the Grade III Tampa Derby, where he beat Bluegrass Cat and earned a 102 Beyer.

Flashy Bull (#2) - Another speedster who will undoubtedly be on or near the lead, as he has consistently hit the board in Grade II and III races after sitting just behind monsters like Barbaro, Corinthian, and First Samurai. His class will ensure that he hits the board at the very least.
