The post draw is interesting because most of the inside horses are going to take back and the ones that are likely to be upfront are mostly drawn outside.

I think Game on Dude is going to be able to get over to the rail or at least the 2 path into the turn.  Check out the gate drill that Baffert put into him last time.  He will break out of there like a shot, get over and save ground.

First Dude and Interactif are very likely going to be 3w and 4w respectively into the turn and whatever chance I was giving either of them went up in smoke with those far outside draws.

Very similar to my comments before the Derby, there are no world beaters in here who are going to be able to overcome a very wide trip.

I think the draw also hurt Ice Box some as 4 out of the 5 inside of him are also going to try and take back so he could get stuck 3 or 4 wide around the first turn as well.

I think I am leaning toward keying Game on Dude in this thing.

He has the pattern, the right running style, the pedigree and the post to be there.
