Top pick: #6 (SPURRIER) - A strange field is assembled for this G3 stake on the main-track and this veteran by "Dixieland Band" has a solid overall dirt record (12-2-2-2) with many of those coming in stakes. Six-year-old was "over his head" last out in a local G1 and he should find this modest group more to his liking. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Arcodoro) - A bit of an unreliable type, but he has by far the most early speed in this small field and should be set in his third back of almost a 4 month break for his best. Working fast, blinkers go on, and he's a serious threat to carry his speed from gate to wire.
