Top pick: #1 (BE BULLISH) - Veteran finished 2nd at Saratoga last out to his entry-mate (Driven By Success)and that dup returns here at the same 7 furlong trip. Grey gelding likes this surface(15-3-4-2) and always moves up a bit on "off" tracks (15-2-4-3). There's lots of speed for him to close into and the main front-runner is his barn-mate. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1a (Driven By Success) - Has the best early speed and last out at Saratoga this veteran proved he's still got plenty left when winning a $75K state-bred stakes at this 7 furlong distance. Like's it wet and 4 of his 9 lifetime wins have come at this trip. Completes a strong entry.
