(#'s 1 and 1A) KROMIUM KOP and TANGANYIKA - We'll take either one of these Todd Pletcher runners as our selection. Both have run well on the grass, with "Kromium Kop" getting beaten by Future stakes winner "Gio Ponti" in his only race. We like him more than "Tanganyika," but we'll take either one, but preferably both.

(# 8) White Holiday - Not much speed to speak of, but he has shown late interest and the ability to pass other horses.

(# 7) Trippin Up - Good effort in first turf attempt from a poor post(12). Stayed on well after setting/pressing the pace the whole race. Repeat performance makes him tough.

(# 3) Harlequin Sky - Tries turf for the first time and draws the hedge. Good try in a two-turn race on dirt last out, and he has worked well since.
