Top pick: #5 (ALKARAY) (4-1) - Stalker had to be sent hard from the rail last out and held his ground until mid-stretch. The move off the inside is a plus and this stalker gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Chase Man) (3-1) - Very consistent of late, he was two better than "Alkaray" last out and has now been sharp in his last four starts on the dirt. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Lexington Park) (7-2) - He just missed last out and defeated both "Alkaray" and "Chase Man" in the process. Strong finisher got a quick pace in front of him that days and needs the same for any shot at the win.
4th pick: #1 (Tally Stick) (5-2) - Inconsistent sort drops back down after a pair facing tougher and he's raced well at this tag in the past. Must be left in the mix with his best.
