Premium Pick
Lawyer Ron (#4) - Shows back-to-back bullets in his two workouts since winning the Rebel Stakes in his last race. Consistent 3-year-old colt has never been beaten on a dirt surface. Only knock is that he's beating up on the same second tier horses week after week.

Private Vow (#7) - Toss out his poor try in the Rebel, as he was returning from a 4-month layoff. Has three solid works over the Oaklawn track since that race and have to think that last race was just a prep for this $1 million purse.

Jealous Profit (#6) - Just broke his maiden, but ironically has faced the toughest horses of anyone in here. Southern Cal shipper shows narrow losses Baffert Stakes winner, Wanna Runner, 2-year-old Champion, Stevie Wonderboy, and KY Derby favorite Brother Derek. In the hunt today.

High Cotton (#2) - Anoter new face shipping to Oaklawn for the Arkansas Derby. Todd Pletcher trainees always tough and this one has hit the board in 5 of 7 lifetime starts.
