Top pick: #5 (HARDSHELL) - Speedy sort will be cutting back in distance for this and trainer Charlton Baker will also be dropping into a claimer for the first time since his maiden last Oct. at Belmont. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Ultimo Principe) - Re-claimed by Linda Rice after losing him for two starts and she paid up $7500 for him. Lightly raced, improving, and this stalker should get a fast pace to rally into. Win candidate.
