IMO I'd switch Battle of Midway and State of Honor. But otherwise I think that list is very accurate.

I don't see McCraken being in that last group.

He was never more than 3L from the leader in the Bluegrass and was positioned ahead of Tapwrit and PJ for the first half.

He was bit further back in the Sam Davis but not by much. As the distances have increased he seems to lay a little closer.

I'd be shocked if Patch and J Boys Echo were in front of him at any point in the race.

Hollendorfer wants Battle of Midway to be in a stalking role.

Despite Jose 'Take 'em Back' Lezcano, it will be difficult for him to not be forward with a steamrolling State of Honor. He is doing great and yesterday's gallop was a particular demonstration. He may be the horse that is most likely of the outsiders to impact the race given his unusually dogged performances.
