Top pick: #8 (WATZ HIS NAME) - Tries hard every time on both turf and dirt and his stalking style is perfect for this. He has a clear leader to track and he can go by him either approaching the stretch or do it in the straight-away. Gelding has the best turf form and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #6 (Spiritofstelle) - Has the best early speed, and although his turf experience is limited, he still has a big chance of upsetting the top pick on the front end.
3rd pick: #1 (True Promises ) - He's finished evenly in his last pair, both at this level, and last out was defeated by the top pick. This field is considerably weaker as a whole than that contest and this runner must be viewed as dangerous.
