I like Ventana in the Champagne. I know he sat a nice trip last out, but I was impressed with the way he kicked away. Break Water Edison is a little intersting to me as well, with a more patient ride.

I think people make a mistake of being overly concerned with loose speed in turf races.....especially on fair ground with give like we have at Belmont. Thou Swell is WAY out of his league tomorrow and won't have any real impact on the race. Take a look at today's 8th at Belmont and Baron Von Tap for a good example.
