If, for some reason, he goes off at anywhere close to the favorite.....I think there will be quite a bit money to win in this race.

Haven't you heard of the Mandatory Pletcher Favorite Morning Line rule?

I will be amazed if he goes off at 5/2 or lower. The thing about Pletcher being in a race is that other horse move up in odds or you get good value on what should be the true mornline fav.

@ 6-1 I also like Duveen, toss last race b/c winner walked around the track with no pressure. I noticed that Romans snatched up Prado instead of giving the mount back to Guidry.... interesting. Other than that i really like Summer Doldrums who is only 3rd time grass start but has imrpoved a bunch ever since her new debut on the grass, can't excuse Strike a Deal and for a flyer im gonna be using Blazing Dynamo out Dynaformer from the Toner barn, already tested at the distance and i like the way he drew off last out.

I'll let the rest of you fight over CQ

God help me 'cause I'm focusing on Thorn Song(20-1) in the Kitten's Joy, last out maiden winner in his first grass attempt. And I bet he goes off more than 20-1

Ciao in the Oaks(15-1), despite post 13

Inca King(8-1) in the big one

The horse to watch out for in this race is Soldier's Dancer. Paired his top off the layoff, three maintenance works, race was obviously in the plans and recieves a huge jock switch. Should be enough speed to come flying at the end. Duveen and Strike a Deal at the others in the exacta box.
