Top pick: #5 (ONE VOTE) - He looms the lone speed in this small field and can out-foot them early and win this wire-to-wire. He's had to fight all the way in his first pair and paid the price late. It looks like his day.
2nd pick: #6 (Cold Ruler) - Debut runner by "Empire Maker" will probably not show much speed as he's bred to go "longer". He has a steady work tab with most on this surface. He could pick off enough late to "hit the board".
