The Sam F. Davis looks chalky to me with Z Humor and Wise Answer the two most likely winners by far. I just think the outside horse dramatically hurts the Zito horse who won't be able to walk through the early stages on the lead like he did in his last two.

Smooth Air would be my choice in here, the only question is the distance. But I think he should be able to handle it, put him on top.

Wise Answer and Z Humor have already proven themselves around two turns and did it while posting faster figs than Smooth Air has ever run around one turn.
When you add in the fact that he has a definite one-turn pedigree, I think he becomes the third choice at best in this spot. He could certainly prevail, but at the relatively short price he is likely to be, I think I'll let him beat me.

I think people are underestimating Smooth Air's pedigree for routes. . .

Seems like pace ought to mean something here and it looks to me like an awful lot of runners here are going to want the lead. Smooth Air and Z Humor look like stalkers that will wait for these front running types to spend themselves. Interesting that Coa jumps from the 1 to the 6.

Hope she's alright.

Good luck, Smooth Air.
