Top pick: #10 (DUBINSKY) - Colt ran a pace-pressing second just 15 days ago at this track and distance. Highly touted since day one, race came off a 45-day layoff and was his best to date. Sharp work since the race adds to the things to like. The pick.
2nd pick: #13 (Stayonit) - Needs a scratch to run. Colt by "Unbridled's Song" has some speed and will be making his first start on "real" dirt after a trio of races in California on turf and "poly." "Hall of Famer" Bob Frankel is calling the shots. Contender if he runs.
3rd pick: #2 (Big Flirt) - Gelded son of "Macho Uno" was well-bet in both of his starts last year, a sure sign that talent is present. Returns for a sharp trainer (Wesley Ward) and works suggest he's a much better runner.
4th pick: #8 (Il Postino) - One of a pair from Todd Pletcher and they race un-coupled. Freshened-up since his only race, which was won by the promising "Taqarub", the second finisher that day was the top selection. Look for a better race from him today.
