R12 - G1 Preakness Stakes

#1 Orb (1-1) - Derby winner will get pounded at the windows with a projected perfect set up for the 2nd Jewel.
#2 Goldencents (8-1) - Have to believe that he'll bounce back with a respectable effort. Either he'll win or not hit the board.
#3 Titletown Five (30-1) - Gets his Triple Crown start and will show speed before fading away.
#4 Departing (6-1) - Conservative connections seem fit to take a shot now. Dangerous.
#5 Mylute (5-1) - Must respect his chances underneath after a nice late run in the Derby.
#6 Oxbow (15-1) - Finally draws well, excuse time is over.
#7 Will Take Charge (12-1) - Upgrade in jock, but question if he's good enough.
#8 Governor Charlie (12-1) - Wildcard seems to be doing well after skipping the Derby. Sounds familiar to Black-Eyed Susan winner.
#9 Itsmyluckyday (10-1) - Liked him in the Derby, but have the feeling that he peaked early at Gulfstream.

Yeah, I just have the feeling that Goldencents is either going to run back to his SA Derby effort or flop again. Thanks and good luck.
