Top pick: #6 (DOUBLE THE CHEERS) (5-1) - The leading trainer at this meet (Gerald Bennett) drops him in class for this attempt. Home bred tired last out after setting a pressured pace. Useful effort was his first going long on the grass and he should move forward off of it.

2nd pick: #7 (Hollywod Premier) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he takes the same drop as "Double the Cheers." He's been sharp in all three starts (all on the grass) and was only beaten 1 1/2 lengths in his latest. Speed/stalker is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Bold Animaux) (3-1) - He raced evenly in the same last race as "Double the Cheers." He finished in front of that rival but had a better trip. He's two for four on the grass and has a flexible running style.

4th pick: #3 (I'm a Big Hitter) (4-1) - Lightly-raced home bred is the only horse entered with a win on this course. He did so for a $32K tag to get his maiden win on Jan. 3. He fits with these and has room for upside.
