Field Almost Set

With only eight days until the Kentucky Derby, it appears there are only two starting spots remaining. So far, the eighteen who appear to be in are (in no particular order):

Dunkirk - Florida Derby runner up
Musket Man - Winner of the Illinois and Tampa Derbies
West Side Bernie - Wood Memorial runner up
Chocolate Candy - Winner of California and El Camino Derbies, runner up in Santa Anita Derby
General Quarters - Winner of the Blue Grass Stakes
Square Eddie - 3rd in the Lexington at Keeneland
Papa Clem - Arkansas Derby winner, second in the Louisiana Derby
Pioneerof the Nile - Santa Anita Derby winner
Mine That Bird - Second in the Borderland Derby
Friesan Fire - Winner of the Lecomte, Risen Star, and Louisiana Derby
Flying Private - Second in the Lane's End, fifth in the Arkansas Derby
Desert Party - Winner of the UAE Two Thousand Guineas, second in the UAE Derby
Mr. Hot Stuff - 3rd in the Santa Anita Derby
Quality Road - Winner of the Fountain of Youth and Florida Derby
I Want Revenge - Winner of the Gotham and Wood Memorial
Win Willy - Rebel Winner, fourth in the Arkansas Derby
Regal Ransom - UAE Derby winner, second in UAE Two Thousand Guineas
Hold Me Back - Lane's End winner, second in the Blue Grass

For the record, I still like I Want Revenge to win it, with Quality Road and Pioneerof the Nile rounding out the top three. For a long shot, I'll take Dunkirk (I've got ticket for him at 9-1 from future wager pool two).
