Premium Pick

Top pick: #9 (RELATIVELY READY) - Impressive maiden win at Saratoga the first time he set foot on the turf. Won despite trouble and he was "clearly" the best horse. He's been given 6 weeks off by trainer Dave Donk and the last two works indicate he's ready to go.

2nd pick: #8 (Bittel Road) - Logical selection and probable favorite is 2 for 2, both on the grass, and he's the fields only stakes winner. The main danger.

3rd pick: #5 (Duke of Hamburg) - English-bred, French-raced son of "Dynaformer" will be making his North American debut and his first start of any kind in 3 months. Lasix and Prado are part of the package. Dangerous runner.
