The Gold Cup race is a joke. Heatseeker will probably win in much the same manner he did in the Californian. Outside of the ancient McCann's Mojave, who's really pushing at 10f, there's not much to pressure him on the pace. Tiago, to mean, is very suspect at 10f, Big Booster and Perfect Drift are bridesmaids at this level, and Racketeer is completely outclassed. Student Council is a danger, I guess, considering he's from Steve Asmussen, but it doesn't seem like he's moved him up too much from Cerin, and despite the Pac Classic race, his best performances have been on conventional dirt.
