It is going to be hard fought for sure with so many contenders despite the smallish field. This race has its share of runners coming off wins, and most have run within the same speed range. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Olympic Deal<\/B> deserves special attention here. He is exceptional pedigree, and is coming off such a dominant performance. Other notes of interest include <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Redoustina<\/B> who may be a long shot, but she is a real nice filly. It is always nice to see a filly try and best the boys. <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Afrika Korps<\/B> is an interesting pedigree that has done quite well, and <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Seeking Discretion<\/B> is full of regal blood.
