    5yo horse who has been in good form of late. Distance is okay and should be thereabouts today. Overall record 26-9-5-6 and banking just over $1.2 million. Last start he was 7th<\/sup> in the G1 Goodygood 9F<\/strong>. Sat 10th<\/sup> around 11 lengths from the lead. Made up some ground in the last furlong, beaten 3.5 lengths and running an SP of 108. Before that he won the G1 Bob Woodward Memorial 9F<\/strong>. Sat 10th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead. Ran home strongly and took over late to win running away by nearly 2 lengths with an SP of 117. Prior to that he won the Brabawells Dirt Memorial 9F<\/strong> in impressive fashion. Sat 13th<\/sup> around 10 lengths from the lead. Was still 7th<\/sup> around 6lengths off them on the turn but rattled home to win by over 2 lengths and running an SP of 119. He was 3rd<\/sup> in the Tabasco Wavering Dirt Memorial 9F<\/strong> prior to that. Sat 11th<\/sup> around 10 lengths from the lead. Ran home very strongly to be beaten 1.5 lengths and running an SP of 116. Recent form has been very good. If he can maintain that the he has a great chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. 13700 \u2013 Brody From Hell<\/strong> (Bodemeister) Owned by icbomber5 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 E. Banner \u2013 16\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5yo gelding who\u2019s last three runs have been poor however he was okay before that. Class maybe beyond. Overall record 24-8-4-4 and banking over $1.1 million. Last start he was 13th<\/sup> in the G1 Bob Woodward Memorial 9F behind Pittore (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 9th<\/sup> in the run around 6.5 lengths from the lead. Wilted badly from the turn, beaten over 15 lengths and running an SP of 100. Before that was 13th<\/sup> in the G1 Hit Me Hcp 9F<\/strong>. Sat 8th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead. Faded badly from that point to be beaten over 14 lengths and ran an SP of 103. Prior to that he was 7th<\/sup> in the G1 Movieland Shiny Cup 10F behind Nuka Insanity (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong> and others in this race. Was 9th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead. Made up some ground in the run home but was well held, beaten 4.5 lengths and ran an SP of 111. Before that he was 3rd<\/sup> in the G2 West Coaster 9F<\/strong>. Sat 6th<\/sup> around 5 lengths from the lead. Made up ground in the stretch, beaten 2 lengths and ran an SP of 114. Struggled of late and others better here. Outside chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. 12486 \u2013 Mendo Purple<\/strong> (Roses in May) Owned by 3dddz. \u2013 Jockey \u2013 F. Duffy \u2013 44\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo colt with a nice record of 11-5-1-0 and banking just under $2.1 million. Form has dropped off his last few starts which is a concern, but they were all G1 races. Last start he was 6th<\/sup> in the G1 Travelers Stakes 10F<\/strong> ahead of a few other 3yo\u2019s in this. He sat last around 17 lengths from the lead. He finished very strongly to be beaten by 5 lengths and running an SP of 107. Prior to that was 8th<\/sup> in the G1 Eddie Haskell Stakes behind Hopkinson Flyer (1st<\/sup>).<\/strong> Sat last in the run around 19 lengths from the lead. Did make up some ground but was well beaten by over 10 lengths and running an SP of 102. He ran 4th<\/sup> in the G1 New Yorker 12F<\/strong> against a lot of the other 3yo\u2019s in this. Sat 13th<\/sup> around 16 lengths from the lead. Made up some ground but was well beaten by 8.5 lengths and running an SP of 100. He was 2nd<\/sup> in the Bluegrass Derby 10F behind General Crook (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Was 17th<\/sup> in the run around 14 lengths from the lead. He finished very strongly from the turn, where he was still 8 lengths back, to be beaten a neck and running an SP of 108. Needs to recapture some form as struggled of late. Will get a mile back and in this large field will need plenty of luck. Outside chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. 82312 \u2013 Speed Genes<\/strong> (Fiber Sonde) Owned by tees21 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M. Zeus \u2013 51\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo colt with a lovely record of 16-5-6-3 and banking $1.6 million. Only run over this distance was well beaten in the G1 Bluegrass Derby. Last 4 races have been in allowances perhaps to find some form. Last start he was 2nd<\/sup> in a 7.5F Allowance. Tried to lead all the way but was run down the last furlong, going down by 1.5 lengths with an SP of 102. Prior to that he won a 7.5F Allowance. He led all the way opening up by 6 lengths on the turn. He stayed on well to win by nearly 2 lengths and ran an SP of 98. Before that he was 3rd<\/sup> in an 8.25F Allowance. Again, he tried to lead all the way. He was collared the last furlong to be beaten 4 lengths and running an SP of 105. Prior to that he was 2nd<\/sup> in a 7.5F Allowance. Led until the turn but stayed on well the last furlong to be beaten just under 2 lengths and ran an SP of 100. His last run in a G1 race was 5 starts back where he ran last in the G1 Middle Jewel Stakes 9.5F<\/strong>. Taken back to the sprints and dropped in class to find some form but up against it here. Will struggle with the distance and only a place chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. 27176\u2013 Nuka Insanity<\/strong> (Medaglia D\u2019Oro) Owned by lenny21. \u2013 Jockey \u2013 K. Banner \u2013 12\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5yo gelding and the 3rd<\/sup> runner from lenny stables. Has been thereabouts lately but in with a shot. Overall record 24-8-5-1 and banking over $2.2 million. Last start he was 6th<\/sup> in the Toxicsuperfreakout Dirt Route 10.5F<\/strong>. Sat 5th<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead.  Struggled from the turn and was beaten over 11 lengths and ran an SP of 104. Prior to that he was 7th<\/sup> in the G1 Western Ocean CA Classic 10F<\/strong> on a shifting track. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 5 lengths from the lead. Faded the last furlong to be beaten over 6lengths and ran an SP of 110. Before that he won the G1 Movieland Shiny Cup 10F beating home Giant\u2019s Kash (2nd<\/sup>) and Cairo Blizzard (4th<\/sup><\/strong>). Sat 5th<\/sup> in the run around 6 lengths from the lead. Ran home really well the last furlong to win by \u00be of a length and running an SP of 115. Before that he was 7th<\/sup> in the Toy Maker Dirt Route 10.5F<\/strong>. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 6 lengths from the lead. Faded in the stretch to be beaten over 8 lengths and ran an SP of 107. If he ran up to his win in the Movieland Shiny Cup, he would be a great chance. Think more likely a place chance today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. 11563 \u2013 General Crook<\/strong> (Union Rags) Owned by carsoncity \u2013 Jockey \u2013 V. Jennings \u2013 30\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Very nice 3yo colt with a terrific record of 12-7-1-2 and banking over $7.1 million. His owner would be very excited to have a horse in the big race. Went back to an 8F Allowance race last start against the older horses. Was probably seeing how he stood up against the older horses and ran well. He sat 9th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead and ran on well to be beaten 2.5 lengths and finishing 3rd<\/sup>. Prior to that he ran 6th<\/sup> in the G1 2020 Equinics \u2013 Statue of Liberty 10F<\/strong>. Sat 5th<\/sup> in the run around 7.5 lengths from the lead. He finished okay, beaten 4 lengths and ran an SP of 106. Prior to that was 5th<\/sup> in the G1 New Yorker 12F<\/strong>. Sat 8th<\/sup> around 10 lengths from the lead. He held his ground but was never a threat, beaten nearly 12 lengths and running an SP of 98. He won the G1 Middle Jewel Stakes 9.5F<\/strong> prior to that. Sat 10th<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead. He finished very well from the turn to win by nearly 2 lengths and ran an SP of 109. He also won the G1 Bluegrass Derby 10F<\/strong> the start before that, running on well from 8th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead. Finished very well to just get up by a neck and ran an SP of 108. He will need to improve to win this but 3yo\u2019s at this time of year, generally do. His last 3 runs have me a little worried but if he can recapture form then he has a chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7. 10102 \u2013 Farahan<\/strong> (Super Saver) Owned by curiostud \u2013 Jockey \u2013 C. Orza \u2013 12\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5yo horse who is mixing form at the moment. Overall record 28-12-45-1 and banking over $1.8 million. Mixed surfaces and distances of late with mixed results. Distance query? Last start was 2nd<\/sup> in a 5F Turf Allowance race. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 3.5 lengths from the lead. Made up good ground to be beaten under a length and ran an SP of 96. Prior to that was 10th<\/sup> in the G3 Full Island 9F<\/strong>. Sat last in the run around 14 lengths from the lead. Made up a little ground but well beaten by 12 lengths and running an SP of 104. Prior to that he won the G2 West Coaster 9F<\/strong>. Sat 12th<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead. Was still 9th<\/sup> on the turn but picking up ground and finished strongly the last furlong to win by \u00bd length and ran an SP of 116. Prior to that he was 11th<\/sup> in the G1 Charles Town Classic 9F<\/strong>. Sat last around 12 lengths from the lead. Passed a few tired horses late in an underwhelming performance, beaten over 11 lengths and running an SP of 106. He won the G1 Glenn Kegasus Tradition Killer 9F<\/strong> with a brilliant turn of foot, in what was a sensational win by 1.5 lengths and running an SP of 119. When this horse brings his A-Game he is very hard to beat however is some query at the distance and a little inconsistent to pick here. Has a chance in an open race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8. 11142 \u2013 I Choose Daggers<\/strong> (Redoute\u2019s Choice) Owned by fairhaven \u2013 Jockey \u2013 R. Radzinski \u2013 11\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4yo colt that is in great form at present and relishes the distance. Overall record 15-5-4-2 and banking just over $1.2 million. Has a great chance in the race. Last start he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Jockey Guild Gold Cup 10F behind Giant\u2019s Kash (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 10th<\/sup> around 9 \u2013 10 lengths from the lead. Still 6 lengths off them on the turn but ran home well, beaten just under 3 lengths and ran an SP of 115. Before that he was 4th<\/sup> in the G1 2020 Equinics \u2013 Great Barrier Reef 10F, also behind Giant\u2019s Kash (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 12th<\/sup> around 11 lengths from the lead. Made up good ground but well held, beaten just under 5 lengths and ran an SP of 116. Prior to that he won the G2 Out of the City Hcp 10F<\/strong>. Sat 10th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead. Finished very strongly the last furlong to win by over 2 lengths and ran an SP of 117. Before that he won the Shipper 10F<\/strong>. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 8 lengths from the lead. Finished very strongly to win easily by 2 lengths with an SP of 113. Giant\u2019s Kash has had his measure the last two times they met. Can\u2019t see him turning the tables but in with a solid chance of minor money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    9. 10101 \u2013 They Were Giants<\/strong> (Giant\u2019s Causeway) Owned by agk04 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M. Kelly \u2013 14\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4yo colt that is adept on both surfaces. Win loss record of late suggests a loss, let\u2019s see. Overall record 16-7-2-2 and banking over $1.1 million. Last start he won a 10F Allowance race on turf. Sat 5th<\/sup> nearly 10 lengths from the lead. Finished very strongly to win easily by nearly 3 lengths with an SP of 113. Prior to that he was 12th<\/sup> in the G1 2020 Equinics \u2013 Great Barrier Reef 10F behind Giant\u2019s Kash (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong> and others in this race. Sat 13th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. Faded from their and dropped out, beaten 17.5 lengths and ran an SP of 103. Before that he won a 10F Allowance. Sat 7th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. Still 8 lengths off them on the turn but finished strongly to win by 1 length and ran an SP of 114. Before that he was last in the G1 Sand Castle Classic 10F behind Cairo Blizzard (1st<\/sup>) and Giant\u2019s Kash (3rd<\/sup>).<\/strong> Sat 15th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. Faded badly from there beaten nearly 17 lengths with an SP of 102. Just finding the class a little hot in G1 races. Would need a huge reversal to beat these. Outside chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    10. 41426 \u2013 Maddening Crowd<\/strong> (Violence) Owned by estreli. \u2013 Jockey \u2013 C. Shoemaker \u2013 32\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo colt who is running well of late. Distance shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Overall record of 14-4-4-0 and banking over $1.3 million. Last start was 6th<\/sup> in the G3 Northern Derby 9F<\/strong>. Sat 5th<\/sup> around 4 lengths from the lead. Made a move on the turn but couldn\u2019t maintain the finish, beaten 5 lengths and running an SP of 109. Prior to that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Travelers Stakes 10F<\/strong> beating home many of his 3yo rivals there. Sat 6th<\/sup> in the run, around 7 lengths from the lead. Finished very well the last furlong but well held by the winner, beaten 2 lengths and running an SP of 110. He was 4th<\/sup> in the G1 Clerk of Scales Stakes 9.5F behind Gotyouoncamera (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong> before that. Sat 2nd<\/sup> early, around 2.5 lengths from the lead. Faded from the turn but held spot, beaten 7.5 lengths and running an SP of 106. Prior to that he won the G1 Labatts Ontario Oaks 9F<\/strong>. Sat 7th<\/sup> around 7.5 lengths from the lead. Finished very well the last furlong to win by over 2 lengths and running an SP of 108. Can run the distance and if he improves, he can be a chance in this. Up against a cracking field and think place maybe best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    11. 22121 \u2013 Double Damnation<\/strong> (Arrogate) Owned by futurestar. \u2013 Jockey \u2013 W. Cahill \u2013 13\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4yo filly in terrific form and a great overall record of 20-9-4-3 and banking over $1.4 million. Has taken on all comers and tried turf with success as well. Loves the distance and must be a great chance. Last start she won the G2 Windy City Gold Cup 10F<\/strong>. She sat 11th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. She was till back 6 lengths on the turn and ran on really strongly the last furlong to win by 1.5 lengths and ran an SP of 119. Prior to that she was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Personal Sign 10F. Sat 5th<\/sup> around 10 lengths from the lead. She stormed home the last furlong to be beaten 1 length and running an SP of 113. Before that she won the G1 2020 Equinics \u2013 Grand Canyon 10F<\/strong>. She was 11th<\/sup> early, around 11 lengths from the lead. She was still 6.5 lengths off them on the turn but rattled home to win by over 2 lengths and ran an SP of 113. She was 2nd<\/sup> in a 10F Allowance prior to that. She sat 7th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. She ran home well but was well held, beaten 3.5 lengths and ran an SP of 112. This filly is flying at the moment and her record at the distance is terrific. She has a great chance today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    12. 27124 \u2013 Sneaky Spirit LV<\/strong> (Ghostzapper) Owned by aussiebiz2.  \u2013 Jockey \u2013 T. Ace \u2013 7\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4yo gelding in good form at the moment and has a terrific overall record of 20-6-7-2 and banking over $2.2 million. Disappointed in last year\u2019s BB Classic when finishing 11th<\/sup>. But in better form this year. Just a query over the distance as his only run over 10F was in this race last year. Last start he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G2 Hoffa Cup 9F.<\/strong> Sat 5th<\/sup> around 4 lengths from the lead. Made up good ground in the straight to be beaten just under a length and running an SP of 117. Prior to that he was impressive, running 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 Hit Me Hcp 9F<\/strong>. Sat 3rd<\/sup> under 2 lengths from the lead. Took over on the turn but couldn\u2019t hold off the winner, beaten just under 2 lengths and running an SP of 117. Prior to that he won the G2 New Hampshire Hcp 9F<\/strong>. Led all the way on that occasion. Led by over 3 lengths on the turn and stayed on strongly to win by 2 lengths and running an SP of 120. He was 7th<\/sup> in the G1 Charles Town Classic 9F<\/strong> prior to that. Sat 6th<\/sup> around 4 lengths from the lead. Pushed forward on the turn but wilted late to be beaten over 6 lengths and running an SP of 112. Sits on pace and makes his own luck. Query at the distance or was it too early for him last year when 11th<\/sup>. If he can run the distance, he must be in with a chance. Maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    13. 12120 \u2013 Gotyouoncamera<\/strong> (Gun Runner) Owned by lenny2. \u2013 Jockey \u2013 L. Radzinski \u2013 30\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo gelding who was in great form prior to last start. Great overall record of 12-5-2-2 and banking $1.7 million. Last start was a disappointing 11th<\/sup> in the G1 Travelers Stakes 10F<\/strong>. He sat 8th<\/sup> in the run around 8 lengths from the lead. Faded from the turn and was beaten 10 lengths running an SP of 102. Prior to that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 2020 Equinics \u2013 Statue of Liberty 10F ahead of General Crook (6th<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 3rd<\/sup> in the run around 4 lengths from the lead. Stayed on well the last furlong to be beaten just under 2 lengths and ran an SP of 108. Before that he won the G1 Clerk of Scales Stakes 9.5F<\/strong>. He led all the way on that occasion, leading by over 4 lengths on the turn. Stayed on strongly to win by 2.5 lengths and ran an SP of 114. He was 2nd<\/sup> in the G1 New Yorker 12F,<\/strong> beating home some other 3yo\u2019s engaged here. He sat 7th<\/sup> around 7 lengths from the lead. He finished very strongly to go down by \u00bc of a length and running an SP of 107. If you forgive his last run, then he has an undeniable chance in this. Was in really good form prior to that so think he has a good chance here. Don\u2019t know where he sits in the run as can lead or go back. Like him leading, and if he can lead on his own, he will be hard to run down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    14. 13910 \u2013 Hopkinson Flyer<\/strong> (Arrogate) Owned by scoobysnak. \u2013 Jockey \u2013 A. Jolly \u2013 38\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo colt who is mixing his form a little of late. Nice overall record 9-6-0-1 and banking over $2.9 million. If he brings his best, then he could be a chance. Maybe some distance queries, however. Last start he was 10th<\/sup> in the G1 Travelers Stakes 10F<\/strong>. Sat 12th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. Made up some ground but was well beaten by just over 9 lengths and running an SP of 103. Prior to that he won the G1 Eddie Haskell Stakes 9F<\/strong>. Sat 9th<\/sup> around 11 lengths from the lead. Was, still back around 8 lengths on the turn but finished very powerfully to win by a length and run an SP of 114. He was 9th<\/sup> in the G1 New Yorker 12F behind General Crook (5th<\/sup>) and Arrogate\u2019s Malibu (11th<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 12th<\/sup> around 14 lengths from the lead. Just didn\u2019t come on and probably the distance was too far. He was beaten just under 19 lengths and ran an SP of 92. He ran 3rd<\/sup> in the Bluegrass Derby 10F, behind General Crook (1st<\/sup>) and in front of Arrogate\u2019s Malibu (7th<\/sup>).<\/strong> He sat 13th<\/sup> around 10 lengths from the lead. He made up good ground in the stretch to be beaten 1.5 lengths and ran an SP of 106. Has shown he can handle the distance with his 3rd<\/sup> in the Bluegrass Derby. If he run\u2019s up to that effort he has a chance in this difficult affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    15. 16114 \u2013 Flavors of Mayhem<\/strong> (Uncle Mo) Owned by lenny18 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 D. Raymond \u2013 38\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo colt and another entry from the lenny stables. Has a nice record of 13-6-3-0 and banking over $2.4 million. In great form of late on turf and dirt. His two runs at this distance have been okay. Last start he was 4th<\/sup> in the G1 Travellers Stakes behind Bep<\/strong> and other 3yo rivals in this. Tried to lead all the way and was only caught the last furlong to be beaten just under 3 lengths and ran an SP of 109. Before that he won a 9.5F Turf Allowance. Led all the way in the race and won well by nearly 3 lengths and ran an SP of 103. Prior to that he won the G1 New Yorker 12F<\/strong>. He led all the way and on the turn was 5 lengths clear. Stayed on well to win by \u00bc of a length and ran an SP of 107. Before that he was 6th<\/sup> in the G1 Bluegrass Derby 10F behind General Crook (1st<\/sup>).<\/strong>  Sat 2nd<\/sup> close up in the run. Faded late in the stretch to be beaten over 7 lengths and running an SP of 101. Running well of late but this is tough. Just not sure this is his best distance and can only see him as a place chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    16. 02214 \u2013 Edenbridge Glory<\/strong> (Drosselmeyer) Owned by theduke91 \u2013 Jockey \u2013 M. Scott \u2013 10\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5yo horse on good form of late and deserves a shot here. Overall record is very good, 25-10-7-4 and banking over $6.4 million. Obvious class. Last start he was 4th<\/sup> in a 10F Allowance race. Sat 3rd<\/sup> in the run and tired badly late to be beaten nearly 17 lengths and ran an SP of 103. Prior to that he won the G1 Western Ocean CA Classic 10F beating Cairo Blizzard (3rd<\/sup>).<\/strong> That was on a shifting track. Was 3rd<\/sup> around5 lengths from the lead. Made up steady ground and stayed on well in the last furlong to win by \u00bd length and ran an SP of 117. Before that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the Houston Mount Dirt Route 10.5F<\/strong>. Led early then dropped back to 2nd<\/sup> but close up. Took over again on the turn and stayed on well to be beaten 1 length and ran an SP of 113. Before that was 2nd<\/sup> in a 10.5F Allowance. Sat 3rd<\/sup> around 9 lengths from the lead. Joined in on the turn and won well by 2 lengths and ran an SP of 104. His best run lately has been on a shifting track, which he doesn\u2019t get here. His run against Cairo Blizzard would see him go close, but minor money best here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another 3yo colt coming into this race in form. Overall record 10-3-3-2 and banking $927k. His last two runs suggest he is a very capable 3yo and strikes form at the right time. Last start he won the G2 LA Derby 9F<\/strong>. Sat 9th<\/sup> around 12 lengths from the lead. Made his move on the turn and finished brilliantly the last furlong to win by over 2 lengths and running an SP of 120. Prior to that he was 2nd<\/sup> in the G2 La Holla 8.5F<\/strong>. Sat 11th<\/sup> around 8 lengths from the lead. He again finished strongly from the turn and was beaten 1.5 lengths, running an SP of 110. Prior to that he was 11th<\/sup> in the G1 New Yorker Behind General Crook (5th<\/sup>).<\/strong> Sat 10th<\/sup> around 13 lengths from the lead. He failed to make an impression and faded badly from the turn, beaten over 23 lengths and running an SP of 89. He was 7th<\/sup> in the G1 Bluegrass Derby 10F behind General Crook (1st<\/sup>)<\/strong>, again. Sat 14th<\/sup> in the run around 11 lengths from the lead. He made some ground but was well held, beaten 9.5 lengths and ran an SP of 98. His last two runs suggest he would be very competitive here however he failed over the longer routes twice with General Crook finishing in front of him both times. Questions abound. Chance if runs the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No introduction needed here. An absolute star of the sim world here to defend his title. Champion overall record of 18-12-3-1 and banking $15.4 Million.

Won the BB Classic last year at big odds but won\u2019t be those odds this year. Sim Giant who can repeat this year and looks one of the hardest to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4yo colt who has been in good form of late. Overall record 16-7-2-3 and banking over $4.4 million. He will be right in the thick of things at the business end.

Made up good ground in the stretch to be beaten just over a length and running an SP of 116.

He made steady ground in the stretch without threatening, beaten 2.5 lengths and running an SP of 113. Before that he was 4th<\/sup> in the Blackjack Shellac Dirt Route 10.5F<\/strong>. Sat 2nd<\/sup> very close to the pace. Took over on the turn but his run was short lived, fading late to be beaten just over 4 lengths and running an SP of 107. He won the G1 Sand Castle Classic 10F beating Giant\u2019s Kash (3rd<\/sup>)<\/strong>. Sat 4th<\/sup> around 8 lengths from the lead. He ran home strongly from the turn to win by \u00bc of a length and ran an SP of 119. Has a win over Giant\u2019s Kash and that is very good form. If he can repeat that then he has a terrific chance of beating him again. In form and has a great chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3yo colt who has\nrun hot and cold his last 5 starts. Overall record is very good 13-6-3-2 and\nbanking over $2.1 million. His only unplaced runs were recent. His best is\ncertainly good enough. Last start he was 12th<\/sup>\nin the G2 Bluegrass Cup Classic<\/strong> 9F<\/strong>.\nSat 12th<\/sup> in the run around 14 lengths from the lead. Never\nthreatened in the run, beaten 10 lengths with an SP of 105. Prior to that he won the G1 Travelers Stakes<\/strong> 10F<\/strong> beating home his other 3yo rivals\nhere. He sat 5th<\/sup> around 5 lengths from the lead. He sprinted sharply\nthe last furlong to win by 2 lengths and ran an SP of 112. Prior to that he won the G3 Maple Leaf 10F<\/strong>. He sat 2nd<\/sup>\naround 4.5 lengths from the lead. He sprinted well in the last furlong to win\neasily by 2.5 lengths and ran an SP of 109. Before that he was 10th<\/sup> in the G2 The Liar 8.5F<\/strong>.\nSat 7th<\/sup> around 5 lengths from the lead. He wilted from the turn to\nbe beaten over 6 lengths and ran an SP of 104. Think the 2 unplaced runs can be\nwritten off as they were unsuitable distances. Great record over this distance\nand maybe the best of the 3yo\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tips: Really\ntough race to pick the winner with many chances in this big field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    18. Giant\u2019s Kash<\/strong> \u2013 Have to\ngo with the Champ here to make it back to back Classics. Great jockey and in\nform. 6\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
