I think we've seen Steppenwolfer's best already, which means he isn't good enough to win.

Sunriver goes off your favorite and wins. 3-1 or 7-2 sounds right. Not sexy I know.

Randall, you really like Sunriver to win?

I think he bounces, that last effort was very taxing, Bejarano asked him for EVERYTHING

He closed into a soft pace and Pletcher already said he was too far off the pace that day. I don't think he bounces. If he pairs the 0 he wins for fun in here. Like I said it isn't a given at 12 furlongs, but I'm not going to try and beat him just because. The most logical winner.

Scavs do yourself a favor and bet the matchup today Spider Power against Noble Deeds. Spider Power is just plain faster and will work out a far better trip.

I like Bluegrass Cat in this one. I thought and thought and he is simply the best horse in the field. Sunriver has a shot but I think Bluegrass Cat is so much better than any of these horses.

Can you compare Spider's pattern to Steppenwolfer's, and predict that type of a jump? I know they are completely different animals/surfaces but it looks somewhat the same

I am giong to put a little on that matchup, but I am worried about Spider bouncing, only 22 days after a 5pt top.....

Scavs,

To me you could bet this just on race flow. Noble Deeds if he doesn't rate will be forced to go very fast early and his 2 races at Belmont leave a lot to be desired. I think Spider Power is no fluke. The fact he took as much money as he did his first few in the States indicates they thought the last race was coming a long time ago. Clear matchup for me. Don't know if Spider will win but he'll do well.
