Top pick: #5 (LAND GRANT) - Owned by the high-profile West Point Thoroughbred operation, colt showed speed in his debut at Saratoga and finished third after tiring in the stretch. Sent in for some time off by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin, he returned with a sharp maiden win at the Meadowlands seven weeks ago. Working sharply since, he can win this on the top end.
2nd pick: #1 (Musket Man) - Impressed in his debut at Belmont, rating off the pace and rallying late to draw off. Race was slightly more than three weeks ago, and he has a very fast work since. Win threat from the rail.
