2nd pick: #2 (Distorted Dream) (3-1) - Veteran has been very busy over the past two years going 30-9-3-5 and ships in from Finger Lakes in good form. Stalker has finished second in four of seven previous starts at Belmont and is capable at this distance. The presence of Irad Ortiz Jr. is noted.
3rd pick: #3 (Regulus) (5-1) - Gelding is racing first off a Danny Gargan claim (15%)and this veteran likes it locally 4-2-1-0. Six-year-old was an easy winner here for a $50K tag May 17, then had trouble at the break in his follow up pair. Win candidate.
