Top pick: #1 (Formal King) - Logical contender and probable favorite from the barn of Richard Dutrow. Drops and goes turf to dirt seeking victory #7 in his 14th trip to the post. The choice.
2nd pick: #7 (Fancy Runner) - He finished a solid second two back at this level, but was "way over head" in his most recent effort. Drops back down, and has a fast drill since his latest race. Contender.
