Top pick: #4 (HONOR GRADES) (2-1) - Strong finisher just missed last out at Belmont in G1 "Champagnes stakes in his first facing winners. Colt by "A.P.Indy" is bred to love this longer trip and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Cairo Prince) (5-2) - Undefeated (2 for 2)he's wpeedy and last out was an impressive winner here going a mile in the G2 "Nashua" stakes. He's the only one entered with a win on this surface and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Wicked Strong) (8-1) - Lightly raced, well-bred, and he looked very good when breaking his maiden going a mile at Belmont Oct 26th. Working fast and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Master Lightning) (12-1) - Price play from the Pletcher barn showed nothing last out and was far back of "Cairo". He'd been sharp in his previous pair and today he has a nice post at thias two-turn distance.
