I gave the tri-box cold last year, so I hope to repeat that performance.

I like Lion Heart. He's had two brutal trips in a row, and there is a distinct lack of speed in this race. Should he get to the half in 47 and change, he could be long gone. Of course, if it rains all bets are off and see how the track is playing.

Behind him, I like several horses. In order they are Imperialism, Cliff's Edge, Read the Footnotes and Quinton's Gold Rush. Beyond that I can see a whole slew of horses, so I'm going to actually spread less this year, because once you get to a certain point, you can make a case for almost any of these horses hitting the board.

Good luck everyone.
