Top pick: #8 (BROADWAY HAT) (5-2) - Expensive colt($220K) is stringing starts together and last out finished 2nd here racing for a $25K tag going 6 furlongs. He had a poor trip that day and was claimed by Dave Jacobson. New barn (27% first off the claim) brings him back in 6 days, moves him up in price, and stretches him out in distance. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Drivenbychocolate) (3-1) - He's had trouble at the break in both starts facing tougher and doews have early speed. Trainer Todd Pletcher drops him into a claimer for the first time, adds blinkers, and has him making back-to-back starts. Strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Retired) (5-1) - He's finished 2nd in his last pair racing for $25k and will move up in price and faces a tougher group. Stretch threat in this spot, but he'll need to step it up some.
4th pick: #1 (Unbridled Band) (8-1) - Price play breaks from the rail and will be stretching back out. He showed good early speed two back facing better and last out was eliminated at the break in a sprint at this tag.
