Top pick: #5 (BOURBON THERAPY) (2-1) - He races first off a Dave Jacobson claim (27%) and he brings him back five weeks later and drops hime down off the purchase price (a familiar move by the high-percentagae barn). Gelding has been well-backed in both outings and is making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #6 (Flying Joe) (5-1) - The main speed, he's been tiring on a regular basis facing tougher and will be dropping down to a new low this afternoon. He's very dangerous on the speed-favoring strip.
3rd pick: #4 (Red Knot) (6-1) - Heavily backed last out, he tired badly going a mile after racing close up early. Trainer Dave Donk brings him back quickly, drops him down, shortens him up, adds blinkers, and has him making back-to-back starts for the first time.
4th pick: #3 (Oltre' Oro) (5-1) - Debuting colt has the rail, is bred for speed, and is in an excellent first out barn (Kelly Breen 24%). Dangerous in ready.
