Top pick: #1a (HE HAS CHARM) (7-5) - He's part of a Nick Zito trained entry and he has separate riders listed on both halves. Colt takes the big drop into maiden claimers, shortens up in distance, and has blinkers added. Son of "Pleasant Tap" should beat these if he has any talent at all.
2nd pick: #10 (Cameron Canyon) (9-2) - Home-bred colt has finished second in two of his last four starts and and will get a few pounds off with apprentice Ortiz getting aboard. Stalker fits with this crew and draws a nice post for his style.
3rd pick: #5 (My Cousin Eddie) (5-1) - This is his start No. 12 and he's managed to finish third in five of them. He runs second off a positive trainer switch to Gary Gullo and should be in a good spot turning for home.
4th pick: #4 (Hunt Club Special) (12-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Leo O'Brien and the pair race uncoupled. He was competitive two back at this level and last out had a very wide trip. Price play can factor at long odds.
