Top pick: #2 (BITTEL ROAD) - Easiest kind of win on July 11 at Belmont in his debut. Runner was entered in The "Continental Mile" stake at Monmouth on August 16, but race was washed off the turf. Fine post and good speed to utilize. One of three entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and they'll race as separate betting interests.
2nd pick: #4 (Double Domino) - Another of the "Pletcher" trio won his debut on this course on July 28. Son of "Stormy Atlantic" did so despite some traffic woes in an impressive performance.
3rd pick: #3 (Uncle T Seven) - Just missed in a switched stake at Monmouth last out. Improving with racing and has proven that he can rate and finish. This will be his turf debut.
