Top pick: #7 (DISTANT STRIKE) - Runs second back off a layoof and at a new low in price. Speed/stalker is working well and gets "blinkers off" this afternoon. The top pick.
2nd pick: #5 (Peacefields) - Logical contender has finished second in his last pair at this tag in "switched" contests. It's Mott and Dominguez combining and this colt looks well meant.
3rd pick: #9 (Tramezzini) - Runs second off a Steve Asmussen claim and a subsequent nine month break. Well-bet in both starts he comes back quickly (19 days) for his second back off the long break.
4th pick: #3 (Verveitup) - Goes second off a 70-day layoff and moves back to the turf. Blinkers are added and think he'll do well at nice odds.
