Top pick: #1 (LOGIC WAY) - Consistent as they come and he's improved considerably since a private sale and a trainer switch to Richard Dutrow. Comes off a win in the "Mohawk" stakes at Belmont and he enters this in the best shape of his career. Draws the shortest route home.
2nd pick: #7 (Classic Pack) - Veteran stakes runner likes to come from far back and the prospect of a "soft" course would aid his chances. Very tough, especially if the pace is fast/contested.
3rd pick: #3 (Get Serious) - Jersey-based runner only finished a "neck" behind the top pick in the "Mohawk" at Belmont. Has speed but can also stalk successfully. He's a much improved runner over last year.
