Top pick: #4 (OFFERING PLAN) (9-5) - Away since late October, colt was beaten only 4 1/2 lengths that day in the rich Breeder's Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) at Santa Anita. He won his debut her last summer and has been in steady training since late June for his return. In the Chad Brown barn (27% off of long layoffs) and will win this if ready.

2nd pick: #9 (Rectify) (7-2) - Dangerous foe is working fast locally for his first since June 4 and first on the grass. Bred to enjoy the surface switch, this colt has been bet in all four of his starts. Win candidate if 'Offering Plan' isn't sharp off the long layoff.

3rd pick: #11 (Boston Strong) (6-1) - He's already proven that he can compete at this level as he's finished 2nd in two of his last three at it. Stalker ran well her on the grass last summer and can factor at a square price.

4th pick: #6 (Irish Jade) (12-1) - Even paced type is stretching out a bit after an even effort last out going 7-furlongs at Belmont. He was competitive in four straight prior to that and was only 2 1/2 back of 'Boston Strong' May 30. Can get a share at a big price.
