A repeat of the Kentucky Derby result may be on the cards, with SOVEREIGNTY taken to confirm his standing at the head of the 3-y-o pecking order. Preakness winner Journalism may have to settle for second behind that rival once more, whilst Baeza is respected having skipped the second leg of the Triple Crown.

    Verdict
    Kentucky Derby runner-up. Resumed winning ways in brave fashion in Preakness at Pimlico last out. Had a bad trip but showed his class by reeling in Gosger in the shades of the wire. Meets the pair he split in the Derby, who both come here fresh. Sure to give his all again.

    Verdict
    Improved with each start. Won the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in good fashion, overhauling subsequent Preakness hero Journalism in the stretch. Skipped the Pimlico race and comes here fresh. Looks the one to beat.

    Verdict
    Made Journalism fight when second in the Santa Anita Derby in April. Had a luckless trip in the hustle and bustle of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs when third, unlucky not to beat that same rival into second. Serious contender in this spot.

    Clear winner of Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct in April. Missed the first 2 legs of the Triple Crown with injury. Worked well since returning. No forlorn hope for the powerful Baffert team if 100%.

    Formerly trained in Ireland when third in Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on dirt debut. Shipped to Chad Brown and scored on second start for barn in Grade 3 Peter Pan at Belmont at the Big A. Closer will appreciate a fast pace.

    A second runner for Pletcher. Improver who’s won his last 2 starts with clear daylight back to second. A stakes winner with plenty to find in this spot but dangerous to underestimate.

    Verdict
    British-trained runner who won twice on the dirt at Meydan in winter. Also beaten a nose in the Group 2 UAE Derby. Picked up late pieces when fifth in the Preakness at Pimlico last out. Needs to be sharper from gate but likely to be doing best work late.

    Verdict
    A two-time winner from 4 starts, both in the mud including on debut at this track. Well behind Hill Road in the Grade 3 Peter Pan at Belmont at the Big A last out. A Todd Pletcher-trained longshot with plenty to do in this spot.
