Top pick: #2 (JUST AS WELL) - Trainer Sheppard has been red hot this meet, especially with long distance horses. This five-year-old is bred to love 1 5/8 miles. Likes to lay back and make one late run.
2nd pick: #5 (Summer Patriot) - Four-year-old who is steadily improving. Dangerous tactcial speed in a race which lacks much early lick.
