Top pick: #9 (MISTER ROY) - Switched to the barn of Mike Gorham about six weeks ago after trying the New York circuit. Argentine import ran the first nine races of his career on grass before Gorham dropped him in price and let him try the dirt last out. Colt ran a fine third, stalking a moderate pace and holding his position late. Repeat run makes him dangerous.
2nd pick: #10 (Bruno's a Biter) - Lake runner will take a huge drop for this attempt and will also go turf to dirt. Has some good early speed and he may take them a very long way. Win contender.
3rd pick: #6 (Buddha Pest) - Stretch-out sprinter will need careful rating from his rider to stay close and try and save enough late to have a shot at the win.
