Top pick: #2 (THOUSAND EXCUSES) - Well bet in his debut Mike Maker trained colt raced both evenly and wide. Comes back quickly for this (three weeks) and he'll stretch out around two-turns. Maker is 26% second time out and 29% on the distance increase. The top choice.
2nd pick: #1 (Neversaywhen) - He finished second beaten a "neck" last out going a "flat" mile on the main track here in a switched contest. Draws the rail, has a pair of very sharp drills, and should be viewed as the equal of the top choice.
3rd pick: #3 (Johannesburg Smile) - He's finished fooruth in his first pair sprinting and will try two-turns today wit the addition of blinkers. Contender.
