Top pick: #5 (COURT VISION) - One run type should absolutely relish this 11 furlong distance as he tries it for the first time. He's winless since taking the Hollywood Derby(G1) on November 30th, but has run well in all four starts, and all came against Grade one competition. Pace should be fast and possibly contested. The pick in a nice edition of this traditional feature.
2nd pick: #1 (Banrock) - Came from far back in the Monmouth stakes on June 19th to just miss ( a "nose"). Pace was extremely fast that day and this runner has better tactical speed to utilize than he showed in that contest. Win contender from the hedge.
3rd pick: #7 (Precious Passion) - Pretty amazing perfromance last out as he set a very fast pace, appeared about to be "swallowed-up" in mid-stretch, yet still hung on for the win. He won this race last year and is set up well for another big effort.
