5. PON (possible toss because of the surface questions, but I'm not sure)?
6. Friesan Fire( The one I'm thinking of tossing the most cuz of the long layoff)? Still, I trust Larry Jones he's a smart trainer, and that horse looked so good in all those Lousiana wins. I guess I got a couple weeks to decide.

I should remember there are points for Place and Show in this contest as well. Though I don't think Dunkirk can win(nor do I have him in my Fantasy Stable), it would seem fitting and not too unlikely for him to come in 2nd or 3rd.
Desert Party is a will or he won't Derby type entry, there will be no in between
Fresian Fire I discount from the win spot because of the "no major prep in April" thing, and, despite always running on dirt, never receiving a Beyer fig on par with what the vast majority of past Derby winners(pre-synthetic ) had already achieved coming in: a 105+ Beyer in a two turn race. People are tying him in with Hard Spun due to the connections, but didn't Hard Spun have some more major preps?
I might be wrong there, so feedback, please
