Top pick: #4 (LUBASH) - Very consistent New York bred finished second in his 2012 debut at Belmont Park on May 27th in a $125K stakes for fellow state-breds. Very sharp effort came off a half-year's layoff and this son of "Freud" has excellent early speed.
2nd pick: #6 (Queensplatekitten) - Pletcher-trained colt is (5-1-4-0) on the grass and moves back to the infield after finishing an even fourth in a (G3) stakes on the Woodbine "poly" on May 26th. Stakes placed twice on the turf and this colt is working fast at Saratoga for this attempt.
3rd pick: #7 (Monument Hill) - Six-year-old finished second two back at Pimlico to the talented "Hudson Steele" and last ou was beaten a length on this surface in the $75k Elkwood stakes. One-run type should get a solid pace to rally into.
