Top pick: #2 (ISCAR ) - Home-bred from the Darley operation chased and tired in his debut on the grass a month agao and is training sharply for his first race on the dirt. His trainer (Kiaran McLaughlin) is very strong 2nd time out (30%) and stable rider Alan Garcia is aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (Golden Temple) - He improved in his 2nd starts showing some early speed and holding well to finish a close-up 4th. Good barn (Kelly Breen) names C.C. Lopez today.
3rd pick: #3 (Associate) - Has no early speed but has put in strong late runs in two of his three starts. Tries the dirt for the first time and continues to work well on the dirt.
4th pick: #5 (Crossed The Line) - Colt just missed last out at Monmouth but he's broken slowly in both his starts and can ill-afford that mistake today.
