Top pick: #1 (ANTONACCI) - Gelding has the best early speed and draws the rail this afternoon. Drops down off a troubled start and runs second back off a 2 1/2 month layoff. He's been bet in all three outings and looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #6 (Tripendicular) - The probable favorite, he's finished second in his last two starts at Aqueduct and speed/stalker draws a nice cozy outside post in this small field. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (On the Throne) - Lightly raced and improving, he comes off a second-place finish sprinting on the Atlantic City grass just 12 days ago. Effort came in his first off a Bob Dibona claim and he brings him back on short notice.
