Z can get it. Lucky is more proven then Blame to get it IMO.
QR, well QR has run a race at 10f that might be good enough to win this thing, but people still question the distance.

Blame showed, in the JCJC, that he's not as good going 10F as going shorter. Clearly, if Fly Down was able to change leads, he'd have finished ahead of Blame. Blame probably will make the lead at some point; but he'll get run down by a legitimate 10F horse. His advantage going shorter, the ability to run against the grain, is nullified @ 10F. No doubt he'd be the horse to beat if the race were 9F or less.
Hard to believe that some are continuing to advance the argument that the JCGC was a prep. Why would he need that particular race and not the others he's run this year? Including the win off the long layoff.
LAL shouldn't even be in the conversation.
Hard to believe we're still having a discussion about QR getting 10F.
