[Kasept]

1. Any Given Saturday: Came in unprepared to Wood; Got reaction race out of the way; Gets extra week to ready for Derby. Is best served splitting field early and coming with a sustained run. Most similar recent Pletcher Derby runner? Bluegrass Cat.

2. Cowtown Cat: Doesn't have same running style, but appears to be this year's version of Pletcher '01 runner-up Invisible Ink. Ran deceptively good race at HAW (:24.4, :24.3, :24.0, :25.0, :12.4 (:37.4). Is a horse that will relish 10f.

3. Scat Daddy: Only Derby Trail candidate coming with classic style 2yo-3yo campaign including Hopeful, Champaign, BC Juvy, FOY, FL Derby. Seasoned and professional; Distance an issue. Closing times weak. Most similar recent Pletcher Derby runner? More Than Ready.

4. Deadly Dealer: May end up being best of T.A.P. runners if not rushed, but strong showing in Arky would be no surprise. Most similar recent Pletcher Derby runner? Balto Star.

5. Circular Quay: Barn pet is plucky, frail colt.. Hard to believe he can be held together for Derby and runs risk of being demolished physically if he goes.. Claims made for passing of Wood a prevarication. Most similar recent Pletcher Derby runner? Different style but as precarious as Bandini.

6. King of the Roxy: Wisely pointing away from Derby. Clearly shouldn't be asked to go beyond 9f, but could carry the 9.75 at PIM with a tailwind. Most similar recent Pletcher Derby runner? Pollard's Vision.

6. Sam P.: Santa Anita Derby try fell short, but seems like a nice horse. The kind that will keep turning up ITM in the stakes tries. Most similar recent Pletcher Derby runner? Limehouse.
