Top pick: #2 (I WANT REVENGE) - Not much to add to his last race. California transplant was simply awesome in winning the "Gotham"(G3) in his first outside of California, and first on conventional dirt. Working super since, he has the added advantage today of the rail draw. It's his race to lose.
2nd pick: #5 (Imperial Council) - Lightly-raced, beautifully-bred colt from the Phipps/Mcgaughey combo made a strong late move to outfinish another runner for the place spot in the "Gotham", though he was still 8 1/2 lengths behind the top pick that day. Barn likes to take its time and don't believe he's shown his best yet. He'll win some big ones at some point.
3rd pick: #1 (Atomic Rain) - Hasn't won since last June when he broke his maiden at Monmouth. He's done well since and last out was narrowly beaten at Gulfstream at this nine-furlong trip. May do well at a square price.
