Top pick: #4 (INDIAN WAR DANCE) - Recently returned from a long layoff, he runs this afternoon for his fourth trainer in four starts since returning. Old-timer was sprinted last out and will drop in price as he gets to do what he does best (go a distance). Has the most speed and if the track is off, all the better.
2nd pick: #8 (Ship's Piano) - He finished a sharp second last out in his first race off a Sydney Dutrow claim. Race was his best in 18 months and he looks to be nearing a top effort.
3rd pick: #5 (Marlinspike) - Improving little by little since coming back from a layoff, he could impact this at a square price.
