Hidden Scroll is one of the most interesting contenders to emerge over the last couple of weeks after putting in a monster performance when everybody was first able to lay eyes on him. He’s now priced around a 12/1 or 14/1 margin with a number of top bookmakers and looks like he could definitely be in the mix at the finish line in a few weeks.
Another major contender to keep your eye on is the Fountain of Youth winner Code of Honor who can be backed at a solid price of around 16/1 with a number of top bookmakers. He’s owned by some classic connections and has a great trainer with a lot of room still to move forward.
Based on his breeding, he won’t struggle with the mile and a quarter distance in the Kentucky Derby and his ability to maintain tactical speed could wind up making a big difference in the last furlong or two.
Omaha Beach is another interesting contender and he can be backed around a 20/1 price tag which makes him an interesting each-way selection. He will likely be a popular name play on the day and a fast running son of War Front is always a threat on the dirt.
Other major contenders include Roadster at 25/1 alongside Instagrand at an identical price. Long shot considerations go towards 33/1 By My Standards who just won the Louisiana Derby.
