1 Milhos- Nice local works on the track. Bet down to 2-1 in the Holly Bull last out. A lot of handicappers like this horse. It has a chance to win but I am gonna try to beat it with the 4 horses above.

Race 9- The Belmont Derby - Grade 1 - 1 1/4 mile on the Turf
This race looks challenging. I believe their is 8- 10 horses that can win this race. Spread in up and down bets and hope for a price. Brown as a good hold on this race. Obrien shipping in a few is interesting also.
13 Digital Ages - 3 for 3 and improving each race. Brown/ Ortiz j combo. Klaravich is owner which makes for a very strong team. Should sit right off pace.
12 Demarchiller (GB) Won 3 in row for trainer Chad Brown. Good Turf Pedigree should help. Late Closer- should run late and try to pick up pieces.
8 Social Paranoia- 3rd in G3 last out for trainer Todd Pletcher. Add distance which might improve this horses chances.
10 Spinoff- Pletcher/ Saez combo. Dirt to Turf 15% for Pletcher. Finished 2nd in LA Derby.
7 Master Fencer- JPN horse that made some noise in betting action after closing nicely in Kentucky Derby. Makes the switch to Turf. who knows?
9 Cape of Good Hope- Obrien talking about this one the most out of the bunch making the trip overseas.

Race 10 Suburban G2- 1 1/4 mile
