Top pick: #1 (IRISH ART) - Son of the grass-loving "Artie Schiller" makes his third start and is showing improvement. He ran a strong second last out when stretched-out in distance and is working fast since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Cook Inlet) - Trainer John Sadler moves him to the grass after this colt by "Candy Ride" has lost as the betting favorite on the main-track in four straight starts. Bred to like grass racing and this field comes up a bit easier than he's been facing.
