Top pick: #10 (BOW TIE BOSS) (3-1) - Wygod home bred has finished second in all three appearances, the latest coming here at this level going 6.5-furlongs May 2nd. He had the lead late, but was out-finished by a promising runner from the Pletcher barn. Working well since, he's in shape, and stalker draws a great post for this 7-furlong trip.
2nd pick: #6 (Indian Trail) (7-2) - One of five making their debuts, colt by 'Indian Charlie' has some sharp works on view. Initially prepared in Florida, trainer Todd Pletcher (26% first out) has had him drilling on the training track at Saratoga for the past month. Looks ready to be a big factor.
3rd pick: #9 (To Dare) (8-1) - Son of 'Curlin' will be cutting back in distance after finishing a pace-setting third here at this level going 8.5-furlongs May 3rd. Solid effort was his first in seven months and he's training fast since. Price play.
4th pick: #1 (Fortutious Path) (12-1) - He exits the same May 2nd race as 'Bow Tie Boss.' Colt chased and finished evenly in his first since debuting March 13th. He draws a tough inside post and will either have to be sent hard or try and make a late run after saving ground.
5th pick: #12 (Apostrophe) (15-1) - Debuting colt by 'Tiznow' has some sharp works since coming from Florida. He's in one of the best debuting barns in the country (Rick Violette Jr 41%). May be ready to be competitive at a big price.
