I'll be surprised if either goes off at less than 10-1.

Last-race-performance dominates my own capping, and I was pretty impressed with the 1st two finishers in the FL Derby. Yes, the winner had an easy setup, but we're talking a 7-length margin back to CodeOfHonor and BourbonWar. The top two finishers have as much and probably more room to improve than the competition.
