Top pick: #2 (LUBANGO) - Speedy New York invader has been freshened-up by trainer Chris Englehart since a "troubled" start at Aqueduct on Jan. 13. Much improved since coming to this barn at Saratoga, gelding is (7-3-1-0) since that time and has an excellent work at Belmont on Feb. 18. He was 1 1/2 lengths back of today's rival "Global Power" on Dec. 1 and will be a much better price than him this afternoon.
2nd pick: #4 (Global Power) - The probable heavy favorite, he's lightly raced (8-2-2-0), talented, and is working very fast at Belmont for his first start since Dec. 1 when he won at Aqueduct. In a top barn (Chad Brown) and jockey Cornelio Velasquez comes down I-95 for the mount.
