Heatseeker is the only top class horse in there with any sort of tactical speed. If he shows up, it should be very lopsided. Go Between got a ridiculous set up in the Sunshine Millions, got another one courtesy of Monterey Jazz in the Big Cap (and failed to collar victorious Heatseeker), and then got browbeat at odds-on in a slow paced Grade 3 at Keeneland. He'll get the distance, but the pace is not in his favor, and Heatseeker is clearly much more versatile and is in top notch form right now.
Perfect Drift has no upside as a 9yo against this type of competition. If he is relatively sound, he'd do better to be targeting those BC Marathon division races. Student Council was no threat to Heatseeker this winter, but being transferred to Asmussen may make a difference. Interestingly, he will be stabled in Hollendorfer's (Heatseeker's trainer) barn at Hollywood for the race.
