15. Sam P.: Will be better laying back but still appears cut beneath best
16. Stormello: Honest colt fired best shots early; Currin erred badly with him

Curlin, Dominican, Cowtown Cat in Kasept's top 10.
plus Tiago, Slew's Tizzy, SamP, Imawild, Storm In May, Teufelsberg.
These horses were part of "all others" in the parimutual KD Future Wager, Pool 1. Don't know if they add up to the breakeven 28% chance to win the race that the Pool 1 odds 2.6-1 demand.
