Top pick: #6 (TIP ME OUT) (5-2) - He enters in good form and will be racing fresh off a Jared Brown claim. New barn moves him back up in class, stretches him out in distance, and switches him to the grass. Gelding has a fine record on synthetic surfaces and should handle the turf.
2nd pick: #1 (Financial District) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Eric Kruljac, and the pair race uncoupled. Lightly raced gelding takes a big drop in class, moves from turf to dirt, and shortens up in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Autocrat) (9-5) - The second of the Kruljac pair, he has the same scenario as his barn-mate. Drops, shortens up, and goes grass to dirt. Must be considered a win threat.
4th pick: #3 (Nosetothegrindstone) (9-2) - Colt has raced evenly facing tougher in his last pair here and checked in third in each. Stalker seems to have leveled off in his form, but still is a threat in this field.
