Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (UNBRIDLED'S NOTE) (5-2) - The probable favorite, veteran likes this "down the hill" distance (5-2-1-1) and enters in very good form the Steve Asmussen. Stalker should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Chips All In) (3-1) - He finished on even terms last out with "Note" and that was his best overall since last April. He's won four of six on this course and is 4-2-1-0 at this tricky trip.

3rd pick: #8 (Ain't No Other) (5-1) - Stalker fits with his best and has a nice outside post. However, he needs to gfinish just a bit better to defeat the top two choices.

4th pick: #6 (Gallant Son) (5-1) - Golden Gate shipper enters off a career best racing on "poly," but is capable on the grass (17-3-3-5). Stalker tries hard every time and should be a square price.
