#1 – The Wine Steward
Game Grade 1 debut
Proved he belongs among these
Value potential

#2 – Prince of Monaco
Unbeaten sprinter
Coming off field's longest rest
Not sure it's his spot

#3 – Wine Me Up
Likely pace presence
Will find some West Coast stakes wins
This race won't be one

#4 – Timberlake
His Champagne was great
Can't forget his bland Hopeful
A pick to regress

#5 – Ecoro Neo
SCRATCHED

#6 – Locked
Passed a major test
With his gritty Keeneland win
Should be live again

#7 – Cuban Thunder
If this were '08
And they were running on synth
I'd like him way more

#8 – General Partner
Do you remember
The BC Juvenile Sprint?
He'd have been tough there

The one from his freak debut
Or the Champagne dud?

#10 – Muth
Relishes this track
Shown dimensions to his game
Has the tools to win

#11 – Noted
Dual-surface runner
Has fun career potential
This spot's an ask, though

Prediction
Muth picks up the win
But Derby points go unclaimed
Six, one fill the tri
