Top pick: #5 (DRILL) - He's shown dramatic improvement "figure" wise in his last two starts that led to a win last out at Del Mar in the Futurity (G1) going 7 furlongs. Son of "Lawyer Ron" has a pair of fast works on this surface and like all but the rail runner (who won at Fairplex), he'll be racing on conventional dirt for the first time. The latest drill here, 7 furlongs in 1:23.20 really stands out. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Creative Cause) - Only a length back of "Drill" in the Del Mar Futurity this grey son of "Giant's Causeway" has been sharp in all three starts and has shown some flexibilty as to style in his races. Win candidate from close range.
