Top pick: #9 (JADAL) - Beautifully-bred colt has some problems as he was away for almost 1 1/2 years earlier in his career but has been a consistent runner since coming back to the races this past March. In with a fine trainer (Kiaran McLaughlin) and this colt's best race ever came last out at Saratoga when he ran on the grass. Has fine early speed and is working nicely for this. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Touch of Silver) - Lightly raced colt by "Dynaformer" is in the barn of "Hall of Fame" trainer Bill Mott and has been competitive in his first pair. Races off a layoff but that's not a problem and this runner is bred to love this trip. Draws a cozy post and is a win candidate.
