The Peter Pan

This one stacks up to be nice betting opportunity. MV and The Lumber Guy will take $ but Le Bernarin, Big Screen and Summer Front all have the patterns and numbers that could allow them to move forward and get there.

I played Street Life in the Wood with some disappointment but the pace sets up for him and he may move forward at Belmont with the long stretch. So I will play LB on top with 5 underneath hoping the two favs run out.

Outside of Mark Valeski, Summer Front definently has the nicest looking pattern IMO.  The concern with him is whether he\'ll like the surface here.  These War Fronts have not all taken to dirt, and Belmont is unique, but both of those two must be considered major contenders here.

There\'s plenty of speed in here, The Lumber Guy looks like an underlay at 1 1/8 with Master Rick, Right To Vote and Le Bernadin all wanting to goto the front.

An interesting candidate to me is Hakama. Has the 2nd fastest 2yo route figure (6), paired it up at Laurel in March, and again in the Illinois Derby after an awful start from the 2 hole after he had been running near the front.  He\'s got a nice post here with speed inside of him (Right To Vote, Lumber GUy, Le Bernardin) and Velazquez on him.  The Ill Derby race was his first 6 under difficult circumstances, and I was impressed.  I like his chances of running a top here.

As you mentioned as well, Big Screen is also a use.   Mark Valeski and Hakama will be my keys, with SF, BS, and I might sprinkle Good Morning Diva underneath as well.
