(# 8) ELIZABUL - Thought he took the worst of it last time when he was surrounded by horses closing inside and out down the stretch. Still ran gamely and would be very surprised if he didn't run well today.

(# 1) Kennel Up - Veteran makes his second start for the Contessa barn, and returns to the scene of his best recent efforts (sprinting on the Belmont turf). He should be positioned just off the leaders and make a run late.

(# 4) Privy Seal - Today he cuts back from 10 furlongs to six for this race. He's certainly fit and this level is fine for him. May make some inroads late and has a shot at the exacta.

(# 2) Megatrend - Draws a good post for his particular style and it's possible for him to hit the board against this group, but winning would appear to be a stretch. It's been forever since his last win and I don't think that will change today.
