Premium Pick

Top pick: #4 (ANAK NAKAL) - Price play was a pretty talented runner at one time but has been very sparingly raced ove the past 2 1/2 years. He finished an even third last out at Belmont at this level and will be making back to back starts for the first time since last fall. Has some speed to use in a race loaded with closers and can take this at juicy odds.

2nd pick: #6 (Northern Giant) - Another who'll be a nice price in here. Useful sort from the Lukas barn also has some early speed and has been competitive at this level in the past. Think he'll be in this from start to finish at a square price.

3rd pick: #2 (Convocation) - At one time this 5-year-old really had some talent and good speed. Still capable runner has been facing much tougher than these and is a strong threat down the stretch. Five-year-old son of "Pulpit" is the only member of this field to have won here before and it came a year ago at this distance.
