Top pick: #3 (GIOPI) - Irish import finished a strong second to his entry-mate last out at this price-tag in a race that was switched to the main-track. Colt has good positional speed and is the top selection.
2nd pick: #5 (Scorper) - Gelding has run well in all three of his turf starts and races today off a 375 day layoff. In a hot barn (Dave Jacobson) and he faces a weak group for this tag. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Little Top) - Colt by "Giant's Causeway" hasn't shown much in a pair of dirt starts, but trainer Nick Zito drops him into a claimer and moves him to the turf. Looks for a much better race today.
