The horse to beat in the Real Good Deal could be George Sharp’s Kangaroo Court, a gelded son of Dads Caps who has three wins – including a tally in the Echo Eddie Stakes going six and a half furlongs at Santa Anita in April – on his ledger.

Tim Yakteen trains the chestnut who’ll be handled by top rider Juan Hernandez coming out of the No. 1 hole.

Chief threat to Kangaroo Court could be Bus Buzz, a gelding by Stay Thirsty who just missed to Kangaroo Court in the Echo Eddie.

He came back on May 28 to outrun an allowance field by six and a half lengths going six furlongs.

Here’s the full field for the sprint from the rail out with their riders:

1. Kangaroo Court
2. J. Kirk and Judy Robison’s Giver Not a Taker (Antonio Fresu)
3. Brown, Klein or Lebherz’s Boss Sully (Ramon Vazquez)
4. Lovingier, Halasz or Navarro’s Bus Buzz (Edwin Maldonado)
5. Reddam Racing’s Barely Funtional (Mario Gutierrez)
6. Royalty Stable’s Geezer (Tuiago Pereira)
7. ISK Racing Stable, Hames or Lewkow’s Clouseau (Geovanni Franco)
