Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (WILLSBORO POINT) - Curious spot for this stakes winner, as he's lightly raced and loves the grass. Working well and looks ready to go. But why is he running in a claimer? Obvious win contender if he goes.

2nd pick: #2 (Akenobo) - Trainer Bruce Brown sends him back to the turf, and that's where he'd done his best racing (10-3-1-2). One of three runners entered with a win on this often tricky course.

3rd pick: #9 (Aly's Wheat) - Recent claim by the Contessa barn, no doubt with turf racing in mind. Veteran has a good grass slate (17-3-2-3) and comes into this racing fit.

4th pick: #10 (The Shaughraun) - Stretch runner is best coming from far back and he'll need to be at his best off a foour-month layoff to have a chance.
