Top Pick: #6 Dresden Row (7-5) - The 4-year-old colt won the Autumn Stakes, sitting in third for most of the 1 1/8-mile race - including 5 lengths back after 6 furlongs - but swung out and turned it on down the stretch for a 1 3/4 length win. Seven wins in 15 races, along with five second-place finishes. Veteran Flavien Prat will ride this experienced horse.
2nd Pick: #3 Cruise the Nile (9-5) - Four straight victories for this 4-year-old gelding, unbeaten since switching to turf in December. The last time out, in the Henry S. Clark Stakes at Laurel Park, Cruise the Nile settled into sixth, navigating traffic well, and turned it on late to win again. Jorge Ruiz has ridden all five of his career starts and will be atop again.
3rd Pick: #5 A Bourbon for Toby (12-1) - Two straight wins for this 4-year-old colt at 1 1/8 and 1 1/16 miles before finishing third the last time out in an Allowance at Belmont.
