Top Pick: #8 One Nine Hundred (7-2) - This speedy 3-year-old colt has run three good maiden races this year at 6 1/2 furlongs or less and finished one, two, and three. The last time out, One Nine Hundred won by seven lengths, equaling a 92 Beyer speed. The trainer believes six furlongs is the best distance. This horse keeps getting stronger, and Flavien Prat will ride.
2nd Pick: #6 Keep It Easy (4-1) - This 3-year-old colt was pushed up to 1 1/6-miles the last time out in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth but finished sixth against tough competition, including Sovereignty. In the previous three races, a 6 1/2 furlongs or less, Keep It Easy won twice with impressive speed figures. That included a victory in the Ed Brown Stakes by 5 1/4 lengths at Churchill Downs.
3rd Pick: #7 Faster Gator (6-1) - Faster Gator finished first twice before placing second the last time out at 7 furlongs in the Bay Shore Stakes. Mo Plex and Faster Gator came into the stretch even before favored Mo Plex won in a close one.
