Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (HOLD YOUR GROUND) - Logical selection and probable favorite drops back into a claimer for only the second time in his career and the previous effort resulted with a narrow loss at Gulfstream. Speed/stalker looks tough in this spot with a clear trip.

2nd pick: #4 (Of All Times) - Has the most speed and draws the inside as he makes his first start since last October. Barn (Bruce Levine) is winless at the meet, but is too good to remain that way.

3rd pick: #9 (Jamaludin) - Working fast as he returns to action this afternoon following a seven week freshening. Strong finisher loves the grass and finished a solid second here last year. Win candidate.

4th pick: #6 (Doc N Roll) - All three lifetime wins are on the turf including one here last year in a New York-bred stakes. Level and distance are fine and he's a contender.
