Top pick: #8 (BURLEY'S GOLD) - Highly thought of sophomore runner lost by a "nose" in his debut last summer at Calder and he split a pair of future stakes winners in that contest. Purchased privately soon after he did not race again until his "smashing" maiden win June 27 at Belmont (almost a full year after his first race). Tries a route and two-turns both for the first time and I believe he's up to the task.
2nd pick: #7 (Stealth Missile) - Consistent as they come and he ran very well around two-turns this past winter at Aqueduct. Stalker exits a pair of top efforts at Belmont and they came following a Bruce Levine claim. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Unbridled's Heart) - $1,000,000 colt by "Unbridled's Song" has been very lightly raced (5-1-2-2), but has some good speed to bring and he draws the advantageous inside post in this nine furlong contest. He just missed (by a "neck") here at this distance and is well spotted for a top try.
