Top pick: #10 (BOSS MAN) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he missed by a neck at Belmont last out in his first off a 7 1/2 month layoff. Gelding can take this with a repeat of that effort.
2nd pick: #9 (Buddy's Tiz) (8-1) - Price play is improving and comes off a career best on Oct. 9 at Belmont. He goes third off a six month vacation and is a win candidate at long odds.
3rd pick: #1 (Charlie's Picnic) (15-1) - Longshot stretches out and will be trying the grass for the first time. He has the rail, runs off a seven week break, and is bred for the surface.
4th pick: #6 (Spartiatis) (20-1) - Lightly raced, he improved when switched to the grass last out and is working fast and making back-to-back starts for the first time.
5th pick: #11 (Secret Bid) (6-1) - He comes off a sharp effort at Belmont last out, but draws a tough outside post on this "tight" course. Working fast and can factor if he avoids a wide trip.
