Top pick: #1 (MASALA) - Longshot tired in the recent "Dwyer"(G2) at Belmont after racing close-up early. Has talent and he draws the best post. Recently sent to the barn of H. Allen Jerkens, trainer has always done well in the past at this distance at the "Spa". Can "upset" this group.
2nd pick: #6 (Blame) - Lightly-raced, mid-west shipper is in a very under-rated barn (Al Stall) and colt has shown some "talent and guts" in his brief four race career. Has a nice local drill and believe he'll be in this at the finish.
3rd pick: #3 (American Dance) - Loves the diatance and brings good tactical speed to the contest. Looks primed for a big effort this afternoon.
