#1 – Forte
Hard-fought Jim Dandy
Division still goes through him
Always a win threat
#2 – Arcangelo
A Belmont star turn
Continues to grow like dad
A legacy play
#3 – Tapit Trice
His form's gone missing
Adds blinkers and a new jock
Might need class relief
#4 – Mage
Changing riders like
Spinal Tap goes through drummers
Have we seen his best?
#5 – National Treasure
His signature win
Was a cupcake Preakness Stakes
The real world's less kind

He's always around
But he's got a class ceiling
Low exotic type

Making nice progress
Might be outmatched in this heat
But he'll get some wins
Prediction
Belmont Stakes rematch
Series goes 2-0 for “Arc”
