Top pick: #1a (EVEN RAISE) - He's an amazing (9-3-0)in his last 12 starts, and has won 3 of 4 since being purchased by the Winning Move/Gary Contessa combo. Flexible style is a plus, as is his affinity for wet tracks ( 4 for 6) if the surface is off. The pick.
2nd pick: #2 (American Dance) - Talented three-year-old finished 3rd in the "Remsen"(G2) on this surface last fall and has only started once since. It's certainly of some interest that Dominguez rides this colt instead of the top pick.
