Top pick: #3 (HERO'S REWARD) - Consistent veteran stakes performer (31-11-7-3)makes his 5th consecutive start at a different racetrack. One run sprinter makes his Belmont debut and there's plenty of speed sigened-up to help his late running style. The top selection.
2nd pick: #2 (True Quality) - Very fast runner has been idle since he finished 5th in the Carter(G1) on April 4th. He broke poorly that day and was never able to flash his big speed. Working well since, he could win this if he takes to the turf in his first try on it.
3rd pick: #7 (Le Grand Cru) - Lightly raced son of "Dynaformer" exits his best race ever, a dominating win on the dirt going a mile on June 25th. Shortens-up and moves back to the grass. Beautifully-bred runner just now appears to be finding himself.
