Premium Pick

Top pick: #11 (MENTAL GIANT) - He one of two entered by trainer Bob Baffert and the pair will race uncoupled. Son of "Giant's Causeway" has turf experience and will cut-back in distance for this race "down the hill." The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #10 (Already There) - Gelding has shown some ability in his three starst and moves to the grass off almost an eight week freshening. Think he'll be competitive at a nice price.

3rd pick: #5 (Truth be Told) - Another moving to the turf as he races second off a Mike Puype claim. Bred for the surface and another who should be a big price.

4th pick: #7 (Exultant) - Working very fast for his debut and trainer John Sadler wins at a 22% clip first out. This isn't the strongest of groups for the level and he can factor in his initial public appearance.
