Who can we can expect in the Suburban?

Looks like Commentator wont race until the Whitney.
Too far for Bribon, who is pointing towards the Forego.
Coal Play looked really nice in his last. He will be in.
Formidable, Discreet Treasure, True Resurgence??
I hear Driven By Success is thinking of stretching out. How about Mr Fantasy?
Any shippers?
Big pot and the East Coast handicap division is looking pretty thin.

Maybe a star as good as Frost Giant!

DT should be looking to claim something for $40k that they can move up in the Suburban. Sad really, this has always been one of my favorite races.

I read where Nick Zito said he may run Commentator "once more" prior to the Whitney. You would think it will be in another very safe spot like against horses like Joe Corrigan and Naughty NYer, but my question is why wouldnt he run Commentator in the Suburban? The timing would be perfect, giving him a little less than a month to recover for the Whitney, and the pot is huge.

Giving the fact that Commentator came out of that paid public workout the other day so well, and that you can expect a field of glorified allowance horses in this year's Suburban, why not take down a huge purse instead of looking for another race to be written for him, like the Kashatreya was?

This might be an important detail.

So you think he would aim to run Commentator prior to the Suburban, which is a mere 2 1/2 weeks away? Maybe in another soft weekday race that is written for him? Wouldnt that be running too soon after his last race, which was just 4 days ago?

Probably a moot point anyways, as he most likely wont run at all until the Whitney. Just thought it would be a possibilty and maybe something Nick is thinking about, thats all. He looked so happy after the race on Friday. I know how much he digs this horse.
