Ryan Briscoe - 3:1 - This circuit will really suit Briscoe's very aggressive driving style. If he can keep it off the walls, he will do extremely well.
Justin Wilson - 7:2 - As a former winner of this event, Wilson certainly knows his way around the circuit. His engineering team also seems to have a good handle on the road setup for the Dallara.
Helio Castroneves - 4:1 - Helio has been strong on the twisty tracks all year long, the Glenn being an oddity. I would not be surprised to see both Penske racers on the podium again. (my pick for pole position)
Will Power - 7:1 - Will set the pole at this circuit last year, but fast as he may be in quals, something always seems to come up during the race. He'll be a contender early in the race, but will fall back.
Tony Kannan - 11:1 - TK did fair in practice, but he and his AGR team continue to struggle somewhat on road courses. Kannan's skills will enable him to gain a top 5 finish, in spite of a less than optimal car.

Honorable Mentions to Marco, Tracy, and Servia. They'll be near the front all day, but won't be able to break through to the top. TCGR will have yet another lack-luster performance, which is really startling considering how dominant Dixon was last year on the road courses.

Dixon did nothing for me yesterday in either practice... but then again on the weeks he kicked ass in practice he was so - so in the race... so who knows :)
It is hard to argue with the basic wisdom of previous poster's picks. Since Danica is out of it, I'd like to see Helio get his first win of the season and it would not be bad if TK pulled a surprise. Anytime Dixon is in a race, he cannot be discounted. He did not particularly impress in practice but he is both relentless and indomitable.
"Poster's" was intended to be "posters' " plural, since I agree with all previous racing cognoscenti and quibble not a lot about finish order :-)
Wow... I know this was for finishing order..but take a look at how they qualified today :

Briscoe, Helio, Servia, Dixon, Power, Wilson (minus Dixon..I was almost spot on w/ 5 of them)
1. Helio, 2. Tony, 3. Dan 4. Wilson 5. Brisco With the hopes that Dan Wins really and Tony 2nd.
i think a penske will win it through superior pit work and strategy. on pace, there's at least 6 cars which could run up front, but the winner will be the guy who can drive with the most consistent precision. they need to be very fast and aggressive, but cannot make mistakes. i think helio's probably a good bet for today. but i'd be really happy if justin wilson or oriol servia pulled it off...
