Top pick: #8 (Cogburn) (2-1) - Speed is needed, and Cogburn has it, winning the Twin Spires Turf Sprint the last time out despite starting from the outside post. Winning from post 13 in a 5-furlongs is hard to do, but Cogburn got the job done. Four victories in his last five races, including 2-for-2 sprinting at 5 furlongs.
2nd pick: #2 (Arzak) (9-2) - 6-year-old Arzak can still complete winning three of the last four. That included a victory in the 5 1/2 furlong Shakertown in April by a length after a return from a winter break.
3rd pick: #5 (Big Invasion) (8-1) - Joel Rosario looks to get this horse back on track after a rough outing in the Twin Spires, losing to Cogburn. Big Invasion had the 10th post in that 14-horse field but has a far better post for this one. Big Invasion has finished first or second in four of six races, including second in last year's Grade 1 Jaipur.
