Top pick: #5 (WEEKEND HIDEAWAY) (3-1) - New York-bred looked super last out at Belmont when he went gate-to-wire to win the $100K "Gone Fishin" stakes in very fast time (1:08.20) for the 6 furlongs. Race was his first everon the the grass and this promising colt can take another this afternoon.
2nd pick: #3 (No Distinction) (4-1) - Lightly-raced colt has won three in a row and a good midwestern barn (Randy Morse) will race him on the grass for the first time. Speed/stalker is working very fast for this and is bred to like the turf.
3rd pick: #2 (Stage Street) (9-2) - Speedy colt has won two in a row in front-running style since returning from an eight month layoff on May 11th. Son of "Street Sense" is working well and his rail draw means that he'll be sent hard in the first two furlongs. In the mix.
4th pick: #8 (Brother's War) (6-1) - Team Valor colt by "War Front" makes his North American debut after showing plenty of talent in Europe (8-3-2-2). Has early speed, a fine outsidepost to track from, and he's a big threat turning for home.
