#1 – Taiba
Catches easy pace
Weakened in white-hot Derby
He'll see the latter

#2 – Life Is Good
The race swings on him
Will he stand up to Flightline
Or race for second?

#3 – Happy Saver
Loves running second
Quarter crack's a huge red flag
Not gonna touch him

#4 – Flightline
The card's headline act
No one's put a dent in him
And they might never

#5 – Hot Rod Charlie
Can't deny his heart
Good chance he'll be in the mix
Can't pick him to win

#6 – Epicenter
His ship's been righted
After classic near-misses
He'll take home a piece

#7 – Olympiad
In his big class test
He was fourth in the Whitney
Step behind the best

#8 – Rich Strike
He'll get a hot pace
The trick will be catching it
Play low on supers

Prediction
Flightline's winning it
This line is irrelevant
Six, five, eight follow

#1 – Hurricane J
An ambitious jump
Has to keep up with Cave Rock
Through by the turn home

#2 – Congruent
His best Beyer fig
Would be an all-time worst for
Most in today's field

#3 – Cave Rock
West Coast spectacle
Might get fractions to himself
Left alone, he airs

#4 – Forte
Gritty local win
Sets targets and catches them
Tough one to deny

#5 – Verifying
Big-time pedigree
No excuse to lose Champagne
He'd shock in this spot

#6 – Blazing Sevens
Five-wide in the slop
Couldn't deny in his prep
Should pick up pieces

#7 – Wound Up
Moves from turf to dirt
Little suggests improvement
What am I missing?

#8 – Lost Ark
Troubled Keeneland trip
Stunted meteoric rise
Ought to get a price

#9 – Curly Jack
Iroquois upset
Tosses him in the deep end
Nice horse – Not today

#10 – National Treasure
Baffert's second-string
Tough to gauge his true ceiling
When facing Cave Rock

Prediction
Cave Rock isn't caught
Yakteen gets his Derby horse
Four, six fill the tri

#1 – We the People
If he gets his way,
He could lead them around twice
What if he doesn't?

#2 – Skippylongstocking
Shot his Preakness shot
And he was a non-factor
A level too high

#3 – Nest
A bottled-up Oaks
Has the blood for Big Sandy
But can she keep up?

#4 – Rich Strike
It's the race they want
Will they get the pace they want?
Glass slipper fissures

#5 – Creative Minister
Meteoric rise
Has plenty of pedigree
One last rung to climb

#6 – Mo Donegal
The Pletcher playbook:
Derby, Belmont, hoist trophy
It might work this time

#7 – Golden Glider
Conjure Sir Winston
And then put that thought aside
Future also-ran

[Story Continues Below]

#8 – Barber Road
Outran Derby odds
You've gotta love his moxie
Honest, win or lose.

Prediction
The climb continues
For Creative Minister
Seven, one follow

#1 – Simplification
Outran Derby odds
Clunkers are a rarity
Why should that stop now?

#2 – Creative Minister
Supplemented in
McPeek's got him dialed in
Is he good enough?

#3 – Fenwick
His graded debut
Swatted down, Mutombo-like
Facing a class gap

#4 – Secret Oath
Imposing Oaks win
Quieted distance concerns
Must be acknowledged

#5 – Early Voting
Smart to skip Churchill
But he still got caught going
Shorter than today

[Story Continues Below]

#6 – Happy Jack
When he can finish
Within 10 from the winner
I'll pay attention

#7 – Armagnac
Can't pronounce his name
Collmus won't have to, either
When they hit the stretch

#8 – Epicenter
Ran a winning race
But did that disappointment
Empty his gas tank?

#9 – Skippylongstocking
Something positive:
He has a fun name to say
And that's all I've got

Prediction
If his blade's still sharp,
Epicenter is the best
Four, five fill the tri
