Top pick: #10 (INCA SAINT) (4-1) - Gelding has finished second in two straight at Belmont racing at this mile trip. One-run type is running first off an Abby Adsit claim and she drops him a bit in price and has Irad Ortiz Jr. back on the re-ride.
2nd pick: #11 (Robert Noble) (5-2) - The probable favorite he comes off a career best when he rallied to finish second here at this distance for a $20K tag on Nov. 5. Nice effort and this Zayat runner by hot sire "Pioneer of the Nile" is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Tapin Mojo) (9-2) - Son of "Tapit" exits the same Nov. 5 race as "Robert Noble." Lightly-raced colt was only a "neck" back of that rival at the finish after having a troubled break. Must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #9 (Baskets) (8-1) - He's disappointed a number of times facing tougher on the grass and trainer Dave Duggan is dropping him in class and switching him from turf to dirt.
