Top pick: #1 (TWO MONTHS RENT) - Nice debut saw this gelding by "Purim" finish 2nd in a sprint at Belmont July 15. He's in a barn (Jimmy Toner) that excels with grass horses and he'll stretch this juvenile out in distance and add lasix. He has a sharp work on July 29 and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Sabercat) - He's been competitive in both starts and has already proven that he can pass other horses. Trainer Steve Asmussen moves him to the grass, stretches him out in distance, and turf specialist Julian Leparoux is aboard.

3rd pick: #6 (Ur) - He took a lot of money when debuting at Belmont in the same race as "Rent" and son of "Giant's Causeway" raced evenly after "lunging" at the start. Bred to go longer and he's a threat with a "clean" getaway.

4th pick: #2 (Longwood Lane) - Firster from the "red hot" Pletcher barn is bred to love the grass and the distance. Son of "Langfuhr" is working fast locally and if he runs to his drills he'll be a handful.
