Tonalist is 2nd off a layoff, off a career top, which sets him up (Thorograph-wise) for a huge move forward. And has a preferred style pace wise.
Not trying to talking anyone off anything, it's a fantastic race with a bunch of great horses - I just don't see this as a tough race to find the winner.
IC, what don't you like about him here?

I think Private Zone is the horse to beat, but an unlikely healthy Bayern loose on the lead is dangerous.
I don't think Tonalist is best suited for a fast paced mile, with genuine high quality milers.
