Top Pick: #3 Libertango (5-2) - An excellent post position for this speedster. Flavien Prat gets to ride a horse who has finished first three times and second twice in five races. Libertango finished second last time out at the Grade 1 Cheveley Park Stakes to Sun Goddess; no shame in losing to a horse that has won five in a row and broke the Cheveley Park track record.
2nd Pick: #4 Brickyard Belle (3-1) - After winning her debut by 4 1/2 lengths at Saratoga, Brickyard Belle won the six-furlong inner-turf Matron Stakes at Belmont, making up six lengths in the stretch. Manny Franco was atop for those victories and will be again.
3rd Pick: #8 Force Noir (8-1) - Force Noir won the Irish EBF Race and then finished second to talented sprinter Orthodox (3 for 3 on turf) in the Grade 1 Middle Park Stakes.
