Top pick: #3 (HIERRO) - Highly thought of by trainer Steve Asmussen, this colt from the first crop of "Hard Spun" is improving and will be trying winners for the first time. He was a very impressive maiden winner at Churchill going 7 furlongs two months ago and is training very fast on this surface for this stakes attempt. Think he has a great shot at upsetting the presumed heavy favorite (No. 4 Secret Circle).
2nd pick: #4 (Secret Circle) - Undefeated (3-for-3) son of "Eddington" is very fast from the gate and was a winner on day one of last Year's Breeders' Cup when he took the $454K sprint for 2-year-olds going 6 furlongs. Working fast locally for trainer Bob Baffert and he'll remove this colt's blinkers as he tries two-turns for the first time. Win candidte, but at a very short price.
