Top pick: #5 (LATAAM) (2-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he ships back from Pimlico where he raced both wide and evenly on the grass facing tougher. Son of 'Megaglia d'Oro' had a difficult outside post that day (12th of 12) and did well under the circumstances. He'd finished second and third in his previous pair on the dirt and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Variability) (7-2) - Stretch-out sprinter has been showing early speed and has been competitive on the grass racing at this two-turn trip. He's finished fourth in his last pair on the main track and should be involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #7 (Copley Square) (4-1) - He's gone 8-0-3-2 in his dirt starts and is 7-0-2-2 locally. His lack of speed, combined with his outside post, means he'll need some pace help for anything more than a minor award.
4th pick: #4 (Uragano) (5-1) - New York shipper has absolutely no early speed and at this stage in this 6-year-old's career he could fill out the tri and/or super with a late rally.
