[oldmanTED]

Appears this marathon will be led up front by Presious Passion. Some good quality closers here will have to try and run him down in the stretch. Presious Passion is the defending champion of this race having gone wire to wire last year over a yielding course. He's been tough to get by his last two races. With an uncontested lead, looks like a possible wire job here.

#7 Presious Passion (Win & Place)

 

[GMS325]

I agree with you oldmanTED, the #7 Presious Passion looms the only speed in this race, however he has not fared well against Grade 1 company. If #6 Lauro and Chavez decide to push him on the front it could set up for a closer. With that being said, I like the #5 Court Vision to win. He can pick up the pieces and is a proven Grade 1 winner. I will use #1 Banrock, #7 Presious Passion and #4 Spice Route.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL and a Happy and Safe 4th to everyone!!!!!
