Top pick: #1a (PEASANT) - Colt by Awesome Again is bred to go a distance and trainer Reade Baker will stretch him out in distance off a close-up and "troubled" finish last out going 7 furlongs. Working fine for this and he can win this at a nice price. The top pick, he races coupled in the betting with #1 Maverick Man.
2nd pick: #2 (Uncle Carm) - The probable heavy favorite comes here from Kentucky where he was beaten a head last out at this level. Grey colt is in a new barn (leading trainer Mark Casse), is working fince since coming to Canada, and he'd be no surprise.
3rd pick: #1 (Maverick Man) - He's coupled in the betting with #1a Peasant and has some ability. Gelding spent the early part of his career racing in Ireland and has run evenly in 4 starts since coming to North America.
