Top pick: #6 (CELESTIAL DIAMOND) - $700,000 son of "Malibu Moon" has been picking up his works of late and trainer (Kiaran McLaughlin) has already unveiled some quick debut runners at this meet. High profile barn (West Point Thoroughbreds) loves to win some at this meet. Ready to roll.
2nd pick: #4 (LAVER) - Debut race at Keeeneland in early April was fine, and runner has been given plenty of time to grow and mature since. Contender from the Pletcher barn.
3rd pick: #7 (Mesa Sunrise) - Last years leading barn (Bill Mott) has had six times as many minor awards at this meet than wins. That's the way this game goes. Latest drill from the gate is very fast and $800,000 son of "Sky Mesa" could be a runner.
