They all look like they need 6 1/2 - 7f except for Redefined and none match his jump...That said if this goes 23-46 it's anyone's race, but I'm leaning toward a wire job. I'm playing Redefined over Snowstalker, Hatta Fort and Siphon the Kitty.

As for Around the Cape, I really liked that one and I think old age has caught up to him. I think he still holds the 6F turf record at Belmont.

Phil's right. The goal is to survive, not pick winners (although that helps!). I wouldn't bet Hatta Fort to win today (both because of the likely low price, and the distance).. but I feel he should hit the board. That's all I care about. (i'm sure I've jinxed myself now and will be toast after today!)

FYI, Storming Off is the top selection with 120 entries taking him.

Whew! That's why I usually DON'T pick horses in turf races.. and closers to boot! Nice pick, Phil!
