Top pick: #4 (GENERAL MAXIMUS) - Has the best early speed and he's two-for-two on this surface. He's three-for-four overall with his lone poor outing coming in a mile allowance race at Gullfstream when he tired to finish fourth to a pair of Rick Dutrow trained runners. Working fast and he's the horse to catch and beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Ibboyee) - Multiple stakes winner has been facing "open" foes all year and has done himself proud (5-1-2-1). Likes these middle distance races and there's a lot of potential pace signed-up. Big win threat, though at a short price.
