Top pick: #4 (HOT MINUTE) - Colt couldn't have been more impressive in his debut winning off by almost five lengths at Belmont on July 11 in a field that included next out winner "Al's Deputy". Has a pair of maintenance drills since and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Inherit the Gold) - Gelding impressed earlier this season and will start today off almost a 4 1/2 month layoff. Works are fine as is his under-rated trainer (Charlton Baker).
3rd pick: #1 (Pegasian) - Not sure if he'll go as gelding ran on the turf just six days ago, Has some talent and brings a nice closing style to the contest, Contender if he runs, he's part on an entry with "Theartofcompromise".
