Sword Dancer
Red Rocks will more than likely be the choice of many, he has ability and class and his last effort was not exceptional but good enough to win.
That being said, I like Better Talk Now who at 7 yrs old is still running good to excellent races on the turf and with a Win here, lands right back in the thick of things for turf's biggest prize. He lacks early speed which won't hurt him in this field and is assured a good pace for his late running style.
One more thing, I HATE CHALKS! I will when necessary not bet knowing the Chalk will win. I choose to go with a 4-1 shot or better, price is always better than saying "I had the winner at 1/2" and the thrill of the UPSET is what racing is all about
Grand Couturier last years winner is not out of the picture either, he should get a good run and at a price!
So there you have it. Winner; Better Talk Now; Second; Red Rocks and Third; Grand Courtiner
