Top pick: #2 (CLEVER STORY) (5-2) - Colt finished 3rd when debuting at this level and distance at Belmont on Sep 13th. The Pletcher barn has freshened him up for two months and has him training above average for his second attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Mr O'Leary) (8-1) - Son of "Tale of the Cat" had a fine debut in late May at Belmont, but has had trouble at the break in his last pair after returning from a three month layoff. Working fast, he has early speed and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Distorted Dream) (6-1) - Speedy gelding runs first off a Chris Englehart claim and he moves him up in class following a 5 week freshening. 4yo by "Distorted Humor" should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #1 (Grand Cicero) (4-1) - $335K son of "Corinthian" missed by a nose when debuting at Gulfstream on March 10th, but has been on the sidelines since. Working fast at Fair Hill, he draws the rail and is a big player if ready.
