Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (COURT VISION) - He finished a strong second in the G1 "Makers Mark" at Keeneland April 9 and also ran second earlier this year in Florida in the "Gulfstream Park Turf Hdcp." (G1). He worked well two days apart on the April 23 and April 25 and looks set for a big effort. The top selection.

2nd pick: #8 (Loup Breton) - Irish-bred but French raced before coming to the states, he's been "razor" sharp in his three turf races, but did not run at all last out in "Santa Anita H." (G1) on the synthetic main-track. Working sharply for this and import is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Battle of Hastings) - Working fast at Santa Anita for this, he's finished third in both 2010 appearances and they came against older horses since he turned four on Jan. 1. He had a solid season last year when facing three-year-olds, but these are much tougher. Appears to be set for his best.
