Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (DOCTOR CHIT) - Very lightly raced son of "War Front" raced evanly and wide when debuting here as a favorite a year ago and hasn't lost since. Sent in for a 8 1/2 month layoff at that time he's gone 3 for 3 since returning and last out looked sharp in taking a $85K overnight stakes at Belmont. The final time for the 6 furlongs was 1:08.80 and he's come back with a near bullet 5 furlong work on this surface 6 days ago. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #2 (Fort Loudon) - The field's most experience runner had visited the winner's circle in 7 of his 14 starts and in one of those he scored on a wet surface. He's won three in a row sprinting at Calder and his last start he hit a lofty 103 Byer fig and defeated the fleet Trinneberg in the process.

3rd pick: #4 (Currency Swap) - His only poor race came when he tried a longer race earlier this year in the Illinois Derby(G3). He's ( 5-3-2-0) in his sprint races, is training fast and is only of of two entered wh has won on this surface in the past.
