This is a wide-open race as usual and things often don’t go
as planned. But 6-COMMANDMENT comes here with a four-race win streak and he
showed plenty of moxie holding on to win last two. The distance should be
within his range. Might be good enough. 1-RENEGADE is coming into this race in
the right way. Winner of last two has to overcome the rail draw but with his
come-from-behind running style it might not matter quite as much. He does
finish with a flourish. If you like Commandment, you definitely have to give 12-CHIEF
WALLABEE a second look. While this colt has only a maiden win to his credit, he
was narrowly beaten by Commandment in last two. His barn won last year’s Derby.
Great chance to do it again. 15-EMERGING MARKET has had only two races but he
won them both…barely. However, heard his barn, one of the tops in the country,
is very high on his chances.
