Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (RAIL TRIP) - Multiple graded-stakes winner has beaten fields much better than this and absolutely loves this all weather surface (7-5-2-0). Has a tactical advantage with his early speed and just looks too tough for this group with a "clean" trip. Much the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Awesome Gem ) - Gelding is fine form at present and has been racing at the top echelon of his division for many years. Tries hard every time and has a pair of sparkling local works heading into this. The main danger.

3rd pick: #4 (Richard's Kids) - Deep-closer is working sharply for his first start since a close-up finish March 27 in the $10,000,000 "Dubai World Cup"(G1). Has a lot of back class and looks best of the others if ready with his "A" game.
