Do you think the tough race might take too much out of the three horses you named?
I'm not good at determining form cycles, but rarely have I felt like horses with tough trips in the Derby coming back in the Preakness don't fire. Hell, horses I've bet back in the Preakness off good trips like Peace Rules looked gassed.

If RA weren't going I'd definitely be on Musket Man, and early in the Ky Derby talk I had disparaged him pretty bad but watching his trainer work him to get the max out of him he really grew on me... he moved from a total toss to a moderate use in the Derby for me.
