Premium Pick

Top pick: #8 (ISLAND SOUL) - Longshot has done little wrong in his four race career and has run around two-turns three times at this meet (3-1-2-0). He finished second last out to a runner who may have some real talent and Albarado stays put for the nation's leading trainer the past three years (Steve Asmussen).

2nd pick: #7 (Discreetly Mine) - Looked sharp when wiring the field in the Risen Star (G2) and he's been working well at Palk Meadows since. Has a flexible styale and that will come in handy today with other speed signed-up. Threat again today.

3rd pick: #2 (Mission Impazible) - Lightly raced, speedy, and talented, he's an uncoupled barn-mate of "Discreetly Mine", as both are trained by Todd Pletcher. He ran much better than his fourth place finish to "Conveyance" in the Rebel(G3) at Oaklawn as he had to race wide the whole race after starting from the outside post. Can contend today from start-to-finish.

4th pick: #5 (A Little Warm) - Has talent and it was no discrace finishing second last out in the Hutcheson (G2) to repeater "D'Funnybone". Colt will try two-turns today for the first time. Contender from just off the pace.
