Top pick: #4 (BOGIE) - Lightly raced Irish-bred has run well in all his North American starts (5-1-2-2) and has more early speed than most entered in this stakes quality 9 furlong allowance. Looks set for his best in a competitive small field.
2nd pick: #3 (Times Gone By) - Very lightly raced 6-year-old by "Giant's Causeway" (11-2-3-2) drops in class following a solid fourth place finish on this surface in the G1 Frank Kilroe Stakes a month ago. Stalker is working fast since and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Sebastian Flyte) - He also exits the "Kilroe" and made up some ground late to finish sixth of 10, beaten just over three lengths. His lack of speed hurts his chances a bit and the projected pace-picture here is moderate at best. English-bred is a threat based on his prior class.
