Top pick: #4 (YOMYBATO) - I liked him last time, but he had a terrible start and just had what amounted to a public workout. He's been sharp in his previous pair and trainer Mike Pender brings him back quickly and sends him farther. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Stratify) - Darley home-bred by top stallion "AP Indy" is bred to love this 10 furlong distance and last out finished second on the all weather in his first off a brief vacation. 3-year-old colt had a bullet work just 6 days ago and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (God of War) - Brazilian bred finished a close up fifth in a Group 1 stakes in his native land last Nov. going 12 furlongs. 4-year-old raced evenly here on the "poly" a month ago, his first race in a half-year, and he moves back to the grass. Dangerous foe.
