Of the four drivers installed as the favourites by oddsmakers, Rossi and Power have won the race before.

In 2016, Rossi became the most recent rookie to pass the finish line first, following in the footsteps of the likes of Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya.

The American has enjoyed a solid 2019 season, picking up the race win in the Grand Prix of Long Beach and finishing in the top 10 of all races bar one. His worst showing came last time out in the IndyCar Grand Prix, in which he finished 22nd.

The 27-year-old is a fan-favourite in Indianapolis:

Power is the most recent Indy 500 winner, but he is without a win in 2019, with his best result a third-placed finish in St. Petersburg. Back-to-back seventh-placed finishes and a strong showing in qualifying have him among the favourites once again, however.

Three-time winner Castroneves finished in second place in the Indy 500 as recently as 2017, so while he hasn't won the race in a decade, he remains a major contender.

Newgarden leads the IndyCar standings heading into the race, taking the win in St. Petersburg and four top-four finishes in five races.

Pagenaud has also been in excellent form and won the IndyCar Grand Prix to take pole on the oval.
