(3) Gilmore was a good second on a synthetic track out West in the El Camino Real Derby. Ships east to see if he can pick up Derby points and looks best in this spot. (6) American Speed is capable of giving trainer Brad Cox yet another win in a Derby prep. Was second without much pace help in a Turfway stakes and should be the main rival. (7) Eyes On the King was a maiden winner on Tapeta at Gulfstream and figures to be able to handle this surface as well. (4) Scoobie Quando was reluctant to load last time and should turn in an improved effort if he behaves. Betting strategy: 6 to win. Exacta and trifecta box: 3-4-6-7.
