Mike Watchmaker's Graded Entries for the Mile (1 mile, turf)
	HORSE / TRAINER	JOCKEY	LAST 3 BEYERS	COMMENT	ODDS
	Byword A. Fabre	M. Guyon	n/a, n/a, n/a	Form seems a cut below, but he beat a next out Gr. 1 winner in last; upsetter	12-1
	Goldikova F. Head	O. Peslier	n/a, n/a, n/a	Going for 4th straight Mile; lost a step; might still be simply better than these	9-5
	Gio Ponti C. Clement	R. Dominguez	100, 97, 101	Second to Goldikova in this last year; wonder if he hasn't lost a step as well	5-1
	Strong Suit R. Hannon	R. Hughes	n/a, n/a, n/a	Currently in sharp Gr. 2 form, but he might prefer a slightly shorter distance	10-1
	Courageous Cat W. Mott	P. Valenzuela	101, 103, 103	Second to Goldikova in this in '09 and his form this year is solid; contender	8-1
	Turallure C. Lopresti	J. Leparoux	102, 103, 93	Comes into this in career best form; question if he can kick with Euros late	10-1
	Mr. Commons J. Shirreffs	M. Smith	106, 98, 92	Has had tough trips, but is good, and is improving; has a bit of a shot here	15-1
	Jeranimo M. Pender	M. Garcia	108, 89, 99	Got a big Beyer winning his last; he'd have to duplicate it off this class jump	20-1
	Get Stormy T. Bush	G. Gomez	99, 98, 93	Improved second to Gio Ponti in last; needs a giant step forward to threaten	15-1
	Sidney's Candy T. Pletcher	J. Velazquez	97, 76, 100	Just doesn't seem to have the same spark since switching barns last summer	15-1
	Zoffany A. O'Brien	R. Moore	72, n/a, n/a	Didn't run a step in his U.S. debut last time; his second straight dull effort	15-1
	Compliance Officer B. Brown	A. Solis	97, 96, 93	It was either this or Claiming Crown for streaking NY bred; interesting choice	30-1
	Court Vision D. Romans	R. Albarado	96, 87, 85	Even when he's at his best, he tends to hang, and he's not at his best now	30-1
