Top pick: #4 (SPANISH ART) - Lightly-raced and beautifully-bred he tries winners for the first time after breaking his maiden here on May 1. In a top barn ("Shug" McGaughey) and son of "El Prado" has stepped it up since "blinkers" went on two back. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Cherokee Speed ) - He and the top pick are the only two entered to have wins on this course and this five-year-old has already proven that he can race well against winners. Freshened-up for the past seven weeks he just failed (a "neck") last out at this level at Keeneland. Dangerous rival.
3rd pick: #5 (Elusive Beat) - He's exchanged decisions with the top pick in his last pair and lightly raced son of "Elusive Quality" is improving quickly and is working well for his first vs. winners. Win candidate.
