Top pick: #8 (BROAD ACRES) - Consistent performer will be making his first start for trainer Greg DiPrima, a 23% winning move. Level is fine as is the distance. He's beaten better during this season, and should receive a solid pace to stalk. Win choice.
2nd pick: #1 (Big Emi) - Speedy, draws the rail, and goes first off a Scott Lake claim, a 26% winning move by him. Has stalking ability and loves these distance races (21-5-6-5). Very tough from on or just off the lead.
3rd pick: #5 (Sleek Hunter) - Richard Dutrow runner is coming off a very strong win at the Meadowlands at this price tag against weaker. Nicely-bred colt is on an upward form cycle and is a threat with a repeat of his last.
