Top pick: #2 (CONVOCATION) - Lightly raced and talented. Son of "Pulpit" couldn't have looked better in breaking his maiden by almost 7 lengths on the Belmont Stakes Day under-card. Moves way up for this, but can stalk and pounce, a strategy that looks right for this contest. Working fine since and his trainer (Jimmy Jerkens) really likes him. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Masala) - Nice win here on June 13th as his new trainer "Hall of Famer" H. Allen Jerkens, switched him back to the dirt after a pair on turf and "Poly". Colt always had some talent and seems to be reaching a new level.
3rd pick: #6 (Just Ben) - Gets a big class test this afternoon afer "smashing" a field of "Optional-$75K foes by almost 14 lengths. Race was by far his best ever and his trainer (Nick Zito) has wisely rested him for the past month. Takes them as far as he can.
