Top pick: #4 (NORTHERN PRINCE) - He'll run second off a freshening for a very hot barn (Steve Margolis). Colt ran a strong second on the Derby Day under card going two-turns and will cut back to a one-turn mile this afternoon. Runner has shown a fondness for this surface and is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #3 (WhyWhy Cat) - Raises up in class off a win and a claim that day by trainer Tom Amoss. In-shape and his new trainer is one of the best (30%) fresh off a buy. Win threat.
