Top pick: #8 (TALKING BLUES) - Looms a solid and deserving favorite. He finished second last out at this price and distance to a heavy favorite and made him work hard for the win. He's had three weeks since that race and draws the best post for this "flat" mile contest. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Really Somebody) - Longshot has been given a makeover for this start. Son of "Volponi" has had the past two months off, and gets the addition of lasix and the removal of blinkers. Can factor in the exotics at a nice price.
3rd pick: #2 (Eddie's Point) - Gelding by "Point Given" finished second last out at this level and distance. Stalker appears to be racing into shape and he should be in the hunt turning for home.
