I don't know.
Quip is an 'unknown'. However, the public has taken a liking to him. That usually means bad odds.
Bravazo is a horse that I don't trust, but he ran better in the Derby than either of the other two have ever run in their life. He's bounced back well during the two weeks. If you don't factor gut feelings, he's the raw trip play.
Diamond King has poor speed figs, but seems decent. He had a DREAM trip last time. Probably forwardly placed and gets hurt by Justify or anyone else trying to be on the pace.
You are 'supposed to' take Bravazo here, but I'll pass.

This one seems easier. Sporting Chance wants no part of 1 3/16M, and supposedly hasn't been been in top condition between races.
While Tenfold is a boom or bust, Lone Sailor may be the only one closing. He should make a middle-move (probably up the rail) around 5 or 6 furlongs into the race that wins his matchup vs. Sporting Chance for good.
