Preachinatthebar (#1) - Baffert enters this consistent runner who fits well with these, with 5 wins out of 11 tries at today's distance and a 3rd in this race last year. Will sit mid-pack and try to close up down the stretch.

Rathor (#2) - European import has been stellar since landing in US, except for his last out, when he bumped at the start and got hung 5 wide. Can run all day and will be looking for the lead late.

Texcess (#3) - Another consistent runner, but has had trouble finding the winner's circle, as he has 0 wins in his last 13 starts. Distance is the good news for him, as he's 5 for 5 1st or 2nd and will be looking to make it 6 today.

Southern Africa (#5) - Has proven he's competitive at this level and is showing some monster works since his last race. Will be another closing late.
