Top pick: #5 (ONE NOTE SAMBA) - Speedy gelding races for only the 2nd time since last August and will be racing on the grass for the first time. He showed excellent speed in his return before weakening late. He has a sharp work at Belmont 10 days ago and his trainer(Todd Pletcher) wins at a 33% clip 2nd back off a long layoff.
2nd pick: #2 (Power Blast) - The probable favorite finished 2nd at this condition at Belmont July 2nd to his uncoupled barn-mate (Nutmegcuveeroyale). Lightly raced, he's been sharp in 3 of his 4 turf starts and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (City Strut) - He's been bet in both appearances and looked sharp when breaking his maiden at Belmont June 26. Effort came in only his 2nd appearance and this gelding by "City Zip" will be cutting back a bit in distance as he tries winners for the first time.
