Top pick: #11 (SARATOGA SINNER) - Has the best dirt form and will come into this off a win here 18 days ago. Claimed that day by the Shivmanagal barn gelding only needs to repeat that effort to win this.
2nd pick: #9 (Peahi) - Has four solid races on the dirt earlier this year and lightly-raced colt fits at the level and distance and I almost put him on top. Serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Slambino) - He has a pair of wins in his past on the dirt and they both came on "off" tracks. Veteran must be left in the mix.
