Top pick: #5 (LE GRAND CRU) - Goes turf to dirt and the grass race he's exiting on Belmont Stakes day was a strong one. Son of "Dynaformer was involved in a prolonged pace-duel and held well until late. Looks primed for a big effort by his trainer (H. Allen Jerkens).
2nd pick: #7 (Stevil ) - Returns from Delaware where he finished a close-u- 3rd in his first grass attempt to "Barbaro's" brother "Nicanor". Level and distance are fine and he's won here before. Dangerous runner.
3rd pick: #8 (Great Emperor) - Stretches-out off his best "figure" race ever, a close-up 2nd place finish sprinting June 14th. He's been pretty solid for some time and even thoug this is a big step up, in his present shape he can compete with these.
