R12 - G1 Preakness

#1 Astrology (15-1) - Never off the board and could catch a minor piece.
#2 Norman Asbjornson (30-1) - Hard to imagine versus this group.
#3 King Congie (20-1) - Can't blame connections, but he looks more like a turfer.
#5 Shackleford (12-1) - I don't see him producing another big performance two weeks later.
#6 Sway Away (15-1) - Had some excuses in Ark Derby when wide. Interesting longshot.
#7 Midnight Interlude (15-1) - Showed little in the Derby and this race is no easier.
#8 Dance City (12-1) - Well rested for peak perfomance after gritty try in Ark Derby. Dangerous right off the speed.
#9 Mucho Macho Man (6-1) - Consistent runner at this level must be considered for all slots.
#10 Dialed In (9-2) - Jeoparized by slow Derby fractions and should rebound with more pace projected for this event.
#11 Animal Kingdom (2-1) - Answered the dirt question with authority. No reason to think he can't get it done again.
#12 Isn't He Perfect (30-1) - Seems overmatched against this caliber of runners.
#13 Concealed Identity (30-1) - Local star would have to improve drastically to contend.
#14 Mr. Commons (20-1) - Conservative Shirreffs seems fit to ship, but no bargain with the wide draw.
