a lot of unknowns
Go Swiftly looks good. I don't know that he is going to be in top shape. Debatable whether he needs to be in top shape here, as others come in off of a layoff or FTS.
Go Swiftly probably improves on the GP main track. He has the kind of style that is not flattered by a turf course or a heavy polytrack. No need to toss the turf race, as it was his best performance.
In Honor and Samba Rooster will be dangerous. Could be the fit talent. Note the 2 published works for SR. Fairly heavy schedule, Wolfson gets them to"eat-up" pretty good... If he isn't tired Samba Rooster poses a longshot threat.
You also have to respect a couple months with Pletcher. Jimmy Simms hasn't shown any talent on the track, but did show willingness. Will he be at his best ever?
Kentucky Bear has been training forwardly for Baker. Baker believes in having them race-fit in their first maiden race. Zito also has a first time starter.
