Those are no better than most that will be in this year's Belmont. Purge is really the only one that would stand out against this field as bad as it is. And I'm not convinced in the least that Big Brown is even as good as Smarty Jones.
Master David would get play in this field, let alone Rock Hard Ten, Eddington, and Purge, who would be 2nd choice. In Master David's PP's, EVERY SINGLE runner who hit the board was eventually a graded stakes winner but one. Birdstone's PP's look pretty damned good relative to this field. This field is TERRIBLE absent BB and Casino Drive and maybe Denis of Cork.
