Top pick: #2 (LITTLE POPSIE) (3-1) - He's cutting back in distance after setting a quick and pressured pace while tiring to finish third here at this level going 7-furlongs May 3. It was a solid debut effort by this $210K colt and he's been working nicely on the Saratoga training track for this attempt. The Pletcher barn (22% 2nd time out) has him set for his maiden win.
2nd pick: #1 (True Bet) (5-2) - The field's most experienced maiden has finished third in three of his six starts. Speedy gelding is in shape, has the rail, and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #4 (So Noted) (2-1) - Colt rallied from far back to check in second when debuting here at this level and distance May 17. The winner of that contest looks to have a bright future and this son of 'Read the Footnotes' must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #5 (Proletariat) (8-1) - He debuted in the same May 17 race here as 'So Noted' and ran evenly while very wide after breaking from a tough outside post. Home bred was just over 3-lengths back of that rival and draws a much better spot in the gate for this attempt.
