Top pick: #4 (GOOD PICK NICK) (5-2) - He's one of two entered by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and the pair race uncoupled. Grey 3-year-old by 'Tapit' enters off a sharp maiden win going a mile at Aqueduct April 11th. A career best overall, this promising colt cost $625,000 and is still getting better. Working fast since his maiden score and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (The Truth or Else) (9-5) - He gets some class relief after participating in seven straight stakes. Strong finisher has only threatened in one of those and appears to have been ambitiously placed by his connections. He should find this spot more to his liking. Colt is one of two entered who broke his maiden here at Belmont.
3rd pick: #6 (White Bay) (8-1) - His figures are light when compared to the top two picks. He's lightly-raced, well bred, and ships back from Laurel where he broke his maiden in a 6-furlong sprint May 2nd. He has room for up-side and may grab a share at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (All Hands) (7-2) - The second of the McLaughlin pair, he was an impressive maiden winner at Aqueduct going two-turns March 15th. Home bred by 'Unbridled's Song' followed that up with a non-threatening third place finish in the $100K Frederick Tesio stakes at Pimlico April 18th. He's lightly raced and still has room for improvement.
