I think she is vulnerable and am putting Bafferts horse with Flying spur and justwhistledixie for the double.  I think the last one is coming into this with just the right rest and should run her best which should do it if RA falters.  And I think she will.  
As for the derby half of the double, I am still working on it.   I do like Pioneer alot with Friesan Fire, Hold Me Back, Mr. Hot Stuff and Desert  Party.  IWR from everything I have heard is gonna be a handful and I don't like Talamo's inexperience which he put on display in the Gotham.  I don't get the hype on Dunkirk.  three races, hasn't won a stake, never raced at 2.  Too lean for me to put any money on.  Chocolate Candy could be at huge odds and his stretch run against a slow pace in the Santa Anita Derby was very impressive.  Should be a great show for fans.  I'll be at a Derby Party at Belmont.
