Our Belmont Stakes Top 10

Here's the Belmont top 10 that I submitted to the Paulick Report late Sunday night. Looks like a field of 10 will go in Saturday's race:

1. Charitable Man -- Fresh, talented and likes the sandy Belmont surface
2. Dunkirk -- Five-week break should help talented colt
3. Flying Private -- Lukas has been waiting for Belmont all along
4. Mine That Bird -- Third leg of Triple Crown not conducive to gelding's running style
5. Chocolate Candy -- See Mine That Bird
6. Mr. Hot Stuff -- See Chocolate Candy
7. Summer Bird -- Desormeaux seeking first Belmont Stakes victory
8. Miner's Escape -- Never discount Nick Zito in the Belmont
9. Luv Gov -- Second Lukas charge
10. Brave Victory -- Someone has to round out the top 10
