Lots of closers in the field, with juicy prices attached to them, but will they get a shot?

#20 Danzing Candy is the horse most likely to lead the stampede into the first turn. The question is if #15 Outwork, under Johnny Velazquez will challenge him for the lead. If we see a speed duel then the stage is set for the closers, but if they slow things down upfront, with #13 Nyquist rating behind them, then the whole picture changes.

So which one will it be? Fast pace or slow pace?
