Top pick: #5 (UNCLE SAM) - He's been competitive in all his races excepting a grass race in The Lone Star Park Derby. Colt by "Tapit" is in the Baffert barn, has a flexible style, and has faced tougher fields than this. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #9 (Pride of Silver) - He ran a big race last out in his first race since last winter at Santa Anita and brings excellent early speed to this $100K stakes. Highly thought of at that time, he'll need to improve a bit in his second off the layoff as this field is tough and he draws an outside slot. Capable.
