Top pick: #6 (FAVORITE TALE) (5-1) - Filly invader is undefeated (3-for-3) has excellent early speed, and the highest last race "figure." He gets a big class test, but I like his chances.
2nd pick: #5 (Loki's Vengrance) (12-1) - New York-bred runs second back off a seven week break and should love this 7-furlong trip. Working well and he has a shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (The Admiral) (3-1) - One of two California shippers, he's won two in a row and was working fast before heading east. In the Baffert barn and a threat if he brings his form with him.
4th pick: #8 (Kobe's Back) (2-1) - Strong finisher is the second of the Cal. invaders and he draws a nice outside post. The fatser the pace, the better his chances.
