Top pick: #1 (LONG ISLAND LOUIE) - Has good early speed, runs second back off a 4 1/2 month layoff, has the rail, and Dominguez rides for the first time. Lots of things to like.
2nd pick: #11 (Wana Play) - Has good early speed and some "off" track experience. He'll need to either out-run the top pick early or try and rate just off of him. Can contend today.
3rd pick: #5 (Ave. of the Pines) - He just missed in his well-bet debut racing for $35K, then raced very poorly last out going a mile on the main-track here facing maiden special weights. Drops down to $25,000 and shortens-up in distance.
