Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (MOST DISTINCT) - The probable favorite, he missed by under a length last out when trainer Ray Tracey Jr. stretched him out in distance and added blinkers. Gelding by "With Distinction" is brought back in two weeks and should establish the rail early inthis contest. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Caro King Destiny) - He improved his position last out sprinting and trainer Dale Bennett will send him around two-turns for the first time. Bred to like the trip and Bennett has been going well here all meet.

3rd pick: #1a (Creative Wizard) - Part of a John Haran trained entry and last out this home-bred by "Shore Breeze" finished third, two lengths back of "Distinct". Can factor, but his lack of speed certainly isn't a plus. Stretch threat.
