Top pick: #1 (COOL BLUE RED HOT) - Lightly raced and talented 3-year-old takes on older rivals in this spot. Strong finisher may have been best here last out as he rallied strongly from far back while racing 6-deep to just miss in a 7- furlong contest. Trainer Angel Penna Jr. will stretch this "Triple Crown" nominee out in distance and he meets a weak field. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Johannesburg Smile) - Speedy and talented New York-bred ran third in a $60K stakes at Aqueduct April 22nd in his first start since early Sep at Saratoga. Working fast since and he's one of two entered that have won here in the past. Strong threat.
