PP HORSE;JOCKEY;TRAINER;ODDS;COMMENT
9 Bodexpress;Velazquez;Delgado;20-1;Raced deceptively well in the Kentucky Derby, despite his disdain for a wet track. His runner-up finish behind Maximum Security in the Florida Derby stamps him a threat.
1 War of Will;Gaffalione;Casse;4-1;A clear winner of two graded stakes at Fair Grounds, and he took the worst of the problems nearing the upper-stretch in the Derby.
4 Improbable;Smith;Baffert;5-2;A Grade I winning colt from the powerful Bob Baffert stable, and the Arkansas Derby runner-up is the highest Kentucky Derby finisher in this field.
12 Anothertwistafate;JOrtiz;Wright;6-1;A troubled second in the Grade III Lexington, and the steadily improving colt is bred to love the added distance.
2 Bourbon War;IOrtiz;Hennig;12-1;Rallied to fourth in a strong Florida Derby field. He is wearing blinkers for the first time and is a fresher runner having missed the Kentucky Derby.
5 Owendale;Geroux;Cox;10-1;A sharp come-from-behind winner of the Lexington, and his ability to rate and finish will suit him well in a field with plenty of speed.
7 Alwaysmining;Centeno;Rubley;8-1;A decisive winner of six consecutive races, including three stake races this season, but all seven of his wins have been at Laurel.
3 Warrior's Charge;Castellano;Cox;12-1;Impressive in consecutive wire-to-wire wins at Oaklawn, and the rapidly improving colt deserves a shot with this kind.
13 Win Win Win;Pimentel;Trombetta;15-1;Passed tired rivals when 10th in the Kentucky Derby, but he did finish second in the Grade II Blue Grass. The late runner is wearing blinkers for the first time.
11 Laughing Fox;Santana;Asmussen;20-1;Won the inaugural Oaklawn Invitational on May 4, and the promising but inconsistent colt is capable of finishing fast in this field.
8 Signalman;Hernandez;McPeek;30-1;Splashed his way to a graded stake win as a juvenile last fall at Churchill. He hasn't improved much at three and appears too slow to upset.
6 Market King;Court;Lukas;30-1;A distant third behind Omaha Beach in the Rebel at Oaklawn previous to a poor performance in the Blue Grass.
10 Everfast;Rosario;Romans;50-1;Raced poorly at big odds in three consecutive graded races, and he appears badly overmatched.
