Top pick: #3 (INDIAN KNIGHT) - He showed good early speed in a sprint here two weeks ago and trainer Bob Baffert will stretch him out in distance and add blinkers, both strong moves by him. That race was one by the highly thought of Alberghetti and this colt looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #2 (Balladry) - He draws a much better post today after he was very wide last out at this level while checkinh-in a close-up fourth. Darley Stable home-bred could sneak away at a nice price in this field.
3rd pick: #5 (Red Sharp Humor) - The probable favorite was beaten a nose last out at this level, but this is a tougher field and he had a perfect trip last out from his inside post. Contender, but no "lock" at a short price.
