Top pick: #2 (OLTRE' ORO) (7-2) - Gelding is racing third back off of several layoffs and last out started to show some of his old form. Lightly raced 4yo rallied to finish 2nd June 12 racing at this tag going 7-furlongs. It was his best since mid-December, and he can take this with a bit more improvement.
2nd pick: #1 (War Hero) (6-1) - An 'all or nothing' type, he's won four of nine overall with no minor awards. He's racing first off a Joe Sharp claim (a strong 32% winning angle), and stretch runner breaks from the rail. 5yo ran poorly the day he changed barns, but was in good form prior to that. Price play.
3rd pick: #8 (Attractive Ride) (7-2) - Old timer has won 21 times overall and is 2-for-6 here at Belmont. 9yo has plenty of speed, enters in fine form, and is a threat again on the front end.
4th pick: #3 (Love to Run) (6-1) - Like 'Attractive Ride,' he's won two of his last three and four of his last seven. Stalker won at this tag July 3, and that was his best overall since mid-January. Must be left in the mix.
