Top pick: #1 (LIQUID AMBER) - Veteran has seven lifetime turf wins and most have come against tougher. Gelding draws the inside post and has been competitive in his last three starts, all at this level. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Eldoktori) - Accustomed to facing tougher, he just failed last out at this tag and distance finishing a close-up third despite some late traffic issues. Major player and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Justin Rules) - He recently returned from a 10-month layoff and has run well in his first pair off the long vacation. Should offer whatever he has in his third off the bench.
