Top pick: #7 (CHRISTMAS FOR LIAM) - He's only one of three entered to have won on this deep track and his came last out and was by far the most impressive of the trio. Son of "Breeders' Cup Classic" winner "Saint Liam" (who did it here) looked awesome breaking his maiden going a mile on this surface April 30 and has a pair of good works since. Home-bred in the Pletcher barn may be a very talented runner. The top pick.
2nd pick: #8 (Biloxi) - Speaking of talent this son of "Tiznow" has looked sharp in his two starts and "Triple Crown" nominee is in the barn of Richard Dutrow. Stalker tries this "tricky" surface for the first time and will do it going 2 furlongs farther than he's raced before. Win candidate with Dominguez.
3rd pick: #6 (Johannesburg Smile) - New York-bred defeated a much weaker bunch here April 30, but he's clearly improving since being sent longer and he's working nicely for this. Price play in the same race exotics.
