Top pick: #13 (CYBERTRON) - He has some fine early speed and he'll be taking the big drop into maiden claimers for the first time. Flying Zee home-bred has raced wide and evenly in his last pair at Aqueduct and can take this on the drop.
2nd pick: #4 (Sirtori) - Pletcher-trained colt has taken money in both starts and showed noticeable improvement last out when he set a pressured pace and held to finish second racing at this level April 12th at Aqueduct. Home-bred should be in this from start to finish.
3rd pick: #6 (Inquest) - Much-improved in his latest, he raced much closer to the pace and rallied to finish second facing weaker at Aqueduct April 11th. He shoul appreciate the much wider turns here at Belmont.
4th pick: #1 (Pure Nature) - He's part of a Dom Galluscio trained entry and with the same rider listed on both only one will go. Gelding tired after setting a pressured pace on March 22nd in his first race in almost a year. Heavily bet that day he probably has more talent than he's shown.
