$2 SHOW.

#5 JP's Gusto (Dominguez / Pertalino) will challenge and could easily pull off the victory with the second highest last out speed number at a route distance and two wickedly quick, peaking workouts.  He will be sitting ready to pounce on the leaders heading for home.

#12 Bluegrass Jam (M. Baze / W. Fires) will surprise with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a well managed four race progression, and possibly the best workout tab of four robust, peaking workouts.  He will be well positioned for a great close.

#9 Sway Away (Gomez / Bonde) looks well primed to do well in this race with the second highest overall last out speed number (at a sprint), a two race progression, and two hearty workouts.

#6 The Factor (M. Garcia / Baffert) will be the speed of the race and could run away with it.  He has the highest overall last out speed number (at a sprint) and two swift bullet workouts.  Trainer, Bob Baffert, has this guy ready.
