Top pick: #2 (STEVIE'S WONDER) (8-5) - The day's Best Bet, he's taking a big drop in class and shortening up in distance. Gelding is working well at Saratoga, has blinkers on, and Paco Lopez is in for the ride. Very much the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (George's Folly) (10-1) - Longshot has the rail and was competitive in his first three starts. He's regressed in his last pair, but against this very weak field has a shot at completing the exacta.
3rd pick: #5 (Nohitterthrewsix) (9-2) - Well bet when debuting at Pimlico in early June, he raced evenly while having some traffic issues. Drops a bit and has room for upside.
4th pick: #4 (Talent Man) (20-1) - Blinkers go on colt who has a bit of speed. May grab a minor award, but that appears to be his ceiling.
