Top pick: #3 (ALMIGHTY SILVER) - Nice competitive stakes on tap. Runner did everything he could in the "New York Derby" at Finger Lakes, but the winner and today's rival, "Tin Cup Chalice" had things go his way up-front that day. There's other pace lined up for this and that will lead to a huge race by this colt. Scores a mild upset.

2nd pick: #2 (Writingonthewall) - Speedy and talented, look for this lightly-raced gelding to try and win this on the front-end with his inside draw. Improving and dangerous.

3rd pick: #1 (Overextended) - Has already run this demanding distance at this meet and finished a solid third that day. Second place runner that day, "Lorccan", won impressively here the other day. Experienced and long-winded, this colt has the rail advantage and could impact this at a nice price.
