Derby Trail Forums - SAT - Vir Derby & AP late PK4

Colonial Downs

R9 - G2 Virgina Derby (CBS 5:00-6:00pm eastern)

1- Blazing Dynamo - Loves the Belmont lawn and has some upside.
2- Strike a Deal - Looks to be sitting on a big one after just missing in prep.
3- Red Giant - Will Pletcher use him as a rabbit for CQ?
4- Circular Quay - The wildcard in the race must overcome some obstacles. Underlay.
5- Inca King - I don't see him getting an uncontested lead again.
6- Soldier's Dancer - Better than last and must be used underneath.
7- Duveen - Nightmare trip in Jefferson Cup as fav and Prado returns.
8- Love Dubai - Should be picking up the tired ones.
9- Summer Doldrums - Takes another step up in class. Iffy.
10- Top Cross - Has improved with every start and must do so again to get a piece.

Duveen - BEST BET
Strike a Deal
Blazing Dynamo
