Premium Pick

Top pick: #1 (SEATTLE MISSION) - Lightly raced and talented he's finished second in a pair of starts at this level at Belmont this year following his return from a nine month layoff. He's only one of two entered with a win on this turf course and it came last year in an impressive debut. Has the inside advantage and the speed to ue it. The top pick.

2nd pick: #3 (Taptidar) - Very sharp in his maiden win last out at Belmont and he's continuing to show improvement with each race on the turf. Speed/stalker is well-bred and in a winning barn (George Weaver). Worthy opponent for the top pick.

3rd pick: #6 (Fortissi More) - Competitive sort has been competing out of New York for most of the past year and finished a sharp 2nd last out at Philly Park at this level facing "open" company, In shape and with a cagey trainer (Mike Aro) who's won here with shippers in the past. Contender.

4th pick: #7 (Sir Dunstan) - Speed/stalker stalked the pace last out at Belmont before weakening late. He was only three lengths off off "Mission" that day and he can factor in the exotics at a nice price.
