Top pick: #5 (CROSSBOW) - Heavily bet in his debut he had to be sent hard from his rail post and after setting a very fast pace he tired in the last furlong. Draws a better slot today and his trainer (Kiaran McLaughlin) is one of the best in the country second time out.
2nd pick: #4 (He's In the Bag) - Gray colt by "Holy Bull" also showed good early speed in his debut and trainer Mike Trombetta ships him back up from Laurel and his main rider (Juan Pimentel) also makes the trip north.
3rd pick: #3 (The Fed Eased) - Working fast on this surface for his debut this colt by "Montbrook" races for a trainer (Rick Violette) who likes to have them ready first time out.
