Top pick: #3 (STORMIN BUD) - In career best shape at present, he won at Saratoga August 11th and it was one of his best ever from a "figure" stand-point. Speedster doesn't need the lead to win and faces a field with many big question marks. Colt continues to work sharply and you know he can handle the surface as he won here in gate to wire fashion July 17th. The top selection.
2nd pick: #6 (Spirit of Cochise) - Draws a fine post in this small field and he's another who has a flexible running style. He ran second last out at Saratoga to Caixa Electronica who would probably be favored if entered here. Threat from off the pace in this field.
