If you think SS is going to bounce, then Hard Spun would be a candidate as well, because he ran harder in the Derby.
I tend to think Street Sense takes the Preakness. He is at the top of his form right now and his effort in the Derby may not have taken it all out of him. Against the Preakness field, I think that is enough to win. We'll see about the Belmont.

See post #37 in this thread. In that post, I give my rationale.
I agree with you about Hard Spun. He ran harder than SS in the Derby. I think it will be very hard for HS to repeat the race he just ran.
