Profile: Prospective
Prospective has shown some development at age 3, but not enough to win this race.
Profile: Trinniberg
Trinniberg shows no interest at all in the group dynamic, and that could be a problem in a 20-horse field.
Profile: Optimizer
Optimizer showed some good grit in the Rebel, but his other three races this year were throwaways.
Profile: Master of Hounds
Master of Hounds showed versatility in Dubai, and he has a good running style for the Derby.
Profile: Watch Me Go
To be competitive, Watch Me Go will need to run significantly faster than ever before.
Profile: Twinspired
Twinspired will need to reverse his dirt form to have any impact on the Kentucky Derby.
Profile: Pants on Fire
If Pants On Fire can repeat or build on his Louisiana Derby effort, then he is going to outrun his odds in the Derby.
Profile: Derby Kitten
It requires a leap of faith to expect Derby Kitten to transfer his improving form to dirt.
Profile: Comma to the Top
Comma to the Top has excellent speed, but he has not passed a horse in the stretch since his debut.
Profile: Twice the Appeal
Twice the Appeal is a mid-pack closer, and his ability to move before the deep closers should help him in the Derby.
