Top pick: #8 ( ONE WHITE SOCK) - First-time starter by "Hook and Ladder" debuts for a top barn (Linda Rice) and she has Dominguez aboard. Trainer/Jockey combo is a strong one (30%) and Rice specializes at running fillies against colts. Need not be much to factor against these.
2nd pick: #3 (Costly Count) - Interesting runner has some ability and finished close-up in his latest despite some seriuos traffic problems. Desouza off and apprentice Davis on. May do well at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Game Token) - Gelding broke slowly in his debut and did well to finish seventh beaten by 10 lengths. Comes back quickly for this (17 days) and he draws the rail. Can contend with an alert getaway.
