Premium Pick

Top pick: #11 (PASSINAFLASH) (4-1) - He draws a tough outside post for this distance, but has enough positional speed to not let it hurt his overall chances. Cold enters off a second-place finish here in an 'off the turf' contest May 14. Working fast since, he's capable on the grass, and meets a weak field for the level.

2nd pick: #5 (Attack) (9-2) - Lightly raced, he's been competitive in three straight on the dirt and is moving to the grass in his first off a Raf Deleon claim. He has more speed than most entered and should be involved from start-to-finish if he handles the infield.

3rd pick: #2 (Ajac) (12-1) - Experienced colt had no chance last out in a 5.5-furlong sprint as he clearly prefers two-turn contests. Speed/stalker hasn't been on the turf since his debut way back in July of 2013 at Hollywood Park. In shape and think he'll factor at a square price.

4th pick: #8 (Eight Spokes) (5-1) - Freshened up since Feb 21, trainer Mike Puype will drop him in class, move him to the turf, and stretch him out in distance. Working fast for this attempt and he's bred to handle the grass.
