Top pick: #3 (CONDOBOUND) - Claimed two back at Oaklawn Park for $7500 by the powerful combination of owner Maggi Moss and trainer Chris Richard this gelding chased and tired in a starter-allowance in his first for the new connections and they'll drop him under the purchase price this afternoon. Tough with his best.
2nd pick: #6 (Hungry Wildcat) - Lightly raced 3-year-old comes here from Hawthorne off a pair of sharp wins and his trainer Joel Berndt did well here last year with runners coming from Chicago. Stalker is in career best form at present and is a threat if he brings his form with him.
3rd pick: #4 (T C Champ) - He's the only entrant who's raced on this surface in the past and has done well on it (5-1-1-0). Has plenty of back class and runs second off a Randy Morse claim at Oaklawn. Win candidate.
