Top pick: #8 (LE GRANDE ARTISTE) - Delawre shipper has finished second in his last four starts, two each there and at Gulfstream. One-run type fits at this tag and trip and Joel Rosario (who recently shifted here from So. California) is aboard. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Succinct) - Gelding finised a rallying third here at this level going 6 furlongs on June 14th in a contest originally scheduled for the turf. Well-bet that afternoon in his debut, he's brought back quickly and is stretched-out to a mile by an excellent second out barn (Mike Trombetta 29%).
3rd pick: #12 (Tinguaro) - Dangerous barn (Ralph Nicks) sends out this debuting grey colt by "Unbridled's Song". He's had this 3-year-old in steady training since late March and has been stabled at saratoga since late April.
4th pick: #4 (Mr. Oz) - He hasn't raced since early October and runs off a private trainer change to Dave Fawkes. 4-year-old colt by "Giacomo" ran evenly in all four 2011 appearances and has Dominguez aboard off the nine month layoff.
