Organized according to post-position:

2: Spangled Star
3: Uptowncharlybrown

5: Fly Down
6: Ice Box
7: Drosselmeyer
8: Game On Dude

9: Stately Victor
10: Stay Put
11: First Dude
12: Interactif

First Dude is our prediction as the track length should suit this horse who was second only to Looking At Lucky at the Preakness Stakes, a horse who won't be in the field at the Belmont Stakes.  As far as value picks go, 20 to 1 on Calvin Borel is worth a sprinkle as he's a great jockey that could do more than other jockeys could with a lesser horse.
