It might not change much from that. It doesn't sound like any of the horses outside the field are running this weekend, so they need withdrawals.
And there might be a couple - Juice could go to the Oaks instead, and Moveovr didn't look like a Derby horse AT ALL last Saturday when he was last in the Championship. More news, Down The Road is owned in Hong Kong now and will be going there soon after the Derby. The HK Derby will be his target next year. 10 days to go, let's look at the odds... Jungle Boots - 5.5 Le Baron - 6 Down The Road - 6 Coniston Bluebird - 7 My Scotsgrey - 7 Tell A Tale - 9 Easy Ryder - 13 Sufficient - 13 The Meista - 13 Gallant - 26 Late Addition - 26 The Spaniard - 26 Court Ruler - 31 Fears Nothing - 31 Heza Karma Karzi - 31 I Robot - 31 Izonit - 41 Juice - 61 Moveovr - 61 Spontaneous - 61 Sun Ruler - 81 Carchelo - 101 Diamond Glitter - 101 Brunel - 151 In my opinion... Too high - Tell A Tale, Easy Ryder, Sufficient, The Meista, Gallant, Late Addition, The Spaniard Too low - Coniston Bluebird, My Scotsgrey, Moveovr

HEZA KARMA KARZI
Colt Choisir - Sutra Starts: 11 1st: 1 2nd: 0 3rd: 2 Earnings: $23,253 PROS: - The owners (Sutherland, Timpson & Walker) don't usually have only average horses. - John Sargent is a top trainer of 3yos - Ran 3rd in a stakes race over 2100m, so distance should be ok. CONS: - Maybe just a little bit behind in terms of class.

BIG NEWS: Top-quality filly Puttanesca has been sold and new owner Y K Wong is paying the $70,000 late entry fee for the Derby. And the plan is still to go to the Oaks after that. Very tough, but they must think she can do it.
PUTTANESCA Filly Bertolini - Tesoro Starts: 7 1st: 2 2nd: 1 3rd: 2 Earnings: $121,312 1st Royal Stakes (G2) 2nd Desert Gold Stakes (G2) 3rd Sir Tristram Fillies Classic (G2) 3rd Eulogy Stakes (G3) Puttanesca winning the Royal Stakes at Ellerslie. Videos: Royal Stakes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSp68suaUPk PROS: Two races beyond a mile for a G2 win and G2 placing. CONS: This is a last-minute decision. Can she be at her peak for the Derby next week, when she was originally meant to be peaking for the Oaks two weeks later?
