Top pick: #4 (BETWEENHEREANDCOOL) (3-1) - Lightly-raced, well-bred, and in a winning barn (Steve Asmussen), colt just missed last out in the (G3) "Iowa Derby" at Prairie Meadows. Stalker is clearly still improving and a repeat of his last "figure" can take this.
2nd pick: #3 (Say Ow) (12-1) - California invader comes east in top form, has early speed, and has been training fast on this surface since arriving in West Virginia. Win candidate at a big price.
3rd pick: #5 (Departing) (5-2) - Un-raced since tiring in the "Preakness" (G1), he has talent, is lightly raced, and has been pointed towards this rich contest by trainer Al Stall Jr. Very dangerous with his best.
4th pick: #9 (Overanalyze) (7-5) - The probable favorite, he's been freshened up by trainer Todd Pletcher since a pair of even efforts in both the "Kentucky Derby" (G1) and "Belmont Stakes" (G1). Working fine and a win candidate, but think he's beatable at a short price.
