Top pick: #6 (KEEPING THE HONOR) - Conditions, distance, present sharpness, race flow, and the switch to Dominguez all add up to a winning combination. Add to that the trainer/rider combo of Rick Dutrow and Dominguez(40%) and we give you the top selection.
2nd pick: #7 (Ricoriatoa) - Longshot is very fast early, draws a great post at this distance, and one of the best speed riders in the business (C.C. Lopez) is aboard. Dangerous price play on the front-end.
3rd pick: #4 (Targhee Pass) - Lightly raced, well-bred, loves the surface (2 for 2), and is in the barn of "Hall of Famer" H. Allen Jerkens. Improving quickly at this point and a threat from just off the lead.
