Race 10 and possibly the 2nd most intriguing race is the battle between Monomoy Girl and Swiss Skydiver.
Monomoy Girl comes in as the 7/5 morning line favorite and Swiss is the 2/1 2nd choice. A lot of big price horses in here to use in the under's for an exacta or trifecta.

Beat Similar last out and looks the best in here.
Look at her record....how do you not love this horse and the career she has put together. Won the Distaff last year and looks to repeat with ease. Besides Swiss Skydiver I see no other threat in here to her dominance.
Swiss Skydiver
Trainer: Kenneth McPeek
Jockey: Robby Albarado
Owner: Peter Callahan

Beat the boys in the Preakness
Lost to Shedaresthedevil in the Kentucky Oaks
She will easily be the 2nd betting choice in here and is the only one to pose a threat to Monomoy Girl, but will have to have her best race yet and top her performance from the Preakness.

Won Grade 1 Spinster @ Keeneland
Stellar speed figures in the last 2 starts, could be a threat but will be a longshot for the win. Definitely using in exactas and trifectas with my top 2 and hoping for bigger odds than 12/1.
