Top pick: #6 (MEGAHOLTZ) - Veteran maiden has picked-up minor awards in 10 of his 13 starts and has done so against better fields than this. Has a flexible style, has a good post for this one-turn mile, and he can get his picture taken in this spot. Five-year-old is one of a pair entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and they'll race as separate interests.
2nd pick: #1 (Redwood Falls) - The second of the Pletcher duo has good early speed, is working fast for this, has the rail, drops into a claimer, and "stable" jock Johnny Velazquez is aboard. "Triple Crown" nominee cost $200,000 and runs today for $35K. Obvious threat.
