Top pick: #8 (SPANCILL HILL) - Daughter of "Lite the Fuse" finished second in her debut last March then wasn't seen again until 11 days ago when dhe had good position but flattened out down the stretch. Claimed that day by Gary Contessa from Richard Dutrow he brings her back quickly and moves her up in class. Has a shot at upsetting the chalk.
2nd pick: #3 (Gatto Nero) - The main speed and the probable heavy favorite finished second last out at this level in her first back from almost a 10-month layoff. She'd be no surprise to me for those who like her on top.
3rd pick: #2 (Enniskillen) - Filly raced well in a pair of late season starts at Finger Lakes last year. Working sharply at Belmont as she races off a two month layoff and first for trainer Colum O'Brien.
