Top pick: #2 (PARC DES PRINCESS) - Lightly raced this season, Brazilian-bred has run strong in both starts since coming back from almost a three-month layoff and dropping into claimers. Has good positional speed, runs third off the layoff and Dominguez climbs aboard. The top selection.
2nd pick: #4 (Big Al) - Consistent runner drops into a straight-claimer again, and the last two times he raced for a tag he finished second in both, beaten a "nose" each time. Speed/stalker is properly spotted and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Propensity) - Brings good positional speed to the race, so the outside post shouldn't hurt his chances. Not as accomplished as the top two selections, he still could be a factor from start-to-finish and reach the exotics.
4th pick: #5 (William T) - He's only started three times this year and has finished second twice and third in the other. That trio came at and around this tag and he had traffic issues in each one of them. Races today off a three-month break for "Chip" Dutrow (a 23% winning angle). Exotics factor.
