(# 7) DOUBLE COLICO - Fastest of these early on and draws a great post to flaunt it at this 6.5-furlong distance. Trainer (Steve Klesaris) has had a super year. Rarely brings a horse to New York that doesn't belong. Wire-to-wire threat.

(# 4) Monster Drive - May try for the lead, but in form runner may get outrun by the top pick putting him into chase mode. Has done so successfully in the past.

(# 1) Executive Fleet - Ability to stalk a bit and pounce are a big plus, especially if a speed duel takes place. Dangerous if he repeats latest.

(# 5) Juror - Ran fine on England's pair of polysurfaces at Lingfield and Wolverhampton last year. Has no early gear to speak of and there are some sharp speedsters in here. I'm including him in the underneath position in tris.
