# HORSE TRAINER JOCKEY COMMENT ODDS
Wise Dan C. Lopresti J. Velazquez Has dominated since switching back to turf three starts ago; tough to beat 8-5
Excelebration A. O'Brien J. O'Brien If not for the mighty Frankel, he'd be on a big win streak; top Euro threat 5-2
Moonlight Cloud F. Head T. Jarnet Capable Euro filly runs against males regularly, so this is not a new thing 5-1
Obviously M. Mitchell J. Talamo Impressive how he has blossomed of late; risky to sell this speedball short 6-1
Mr. Commons J. Shirreffs B. Blanc Has ability, but even when he's on his game, his will to win is a question 12-1
Animal Kingdom H. G. Motion R. Bejarano An odd spot for the 2011 Kentucky Derby winner; first start since February 15-1
Jeranimo M. Pender G. Gomez Pops up with an occasional big effort, but he's generally not good enough 15-1
Suggestive Boy R. McAnally M. Smith Will appreciate the return to turf; must significantly improve his U.S. form 20-1
Willcox Inn M. Stidham J. Graham Soundly beaten second to 'Dan' at Kee; has never been as good as these 30-1
