Top pick: #8 (LONG JUMP) - Had the rail last out at this level and distance and did not have the best of trips, yet still ran a strong race. Moves to the outside giving his rider a lot of "options". Talented and improving, he's come back to work well since that effort.
2nd pick: #6 (Masala) - Runner switches barns (Pletcher to Allen Jerkens) and also switches surfaces going turf to dirt. He's been in over his head lately and this drop into an allowance makes him a win contender.
3rd pick: #4 (Nowhere To Hide) - Another who's been in "way over his head" since his maiden win. Working well since his first start since the "Derby" colt ran well here last fall when still a maiden. Dont' ignore.
