Premium Pick

Top pick: #10 (WILLIAM THOMAS) - The main speed, and he'll be pretty tough to defeat in this spot at a short price. Lightly raced and in a good barn (Steve Klesaris) he can win this on the lead if he breaks cleanly.

2nd pick: #6 (Dixieland Star) - Fast early and he could give the top selection a good fight into the turn. Unlike that runner, he's stalked with some success in the past and that may be his style given the other runner's better speed. Chance from just off the top.

3rd pick: #5 (Brave Soul) - Sharp maiden win on June 6 in his first start back off a brief freshening (seven weeks) was followed up by a "poor" effort going a mile in his first start against winners. Working well since, he'll shorten back up to six furlongs today.
