(# 6) LAWYER RON - Hard to go against in his present form. Race starts on the clubhouse turn so he'll need to avoid being floated wide. This field will force him to run hard every step of the way. Tough, but reverse those exacta bets.

(# 3) Political Force - This is his favorite track and the scene of his best triumphs. Working well, and is inside of "Lawyer Ron." Good shot at an upset.

( # 2) Sun King - Working well here at his home base since showing some run in the Woodward. Likes this track and has a good post.

(# 5) Curlin - Faces a very tough task today and may be overbet a bit based on his reputation. This is a pretty battle-scarred group, and a lightly raced three-year-old will find it a difficult assignment.
