Top pick: #5 (FINANCIAL STORM) - Well-bet in his debut this colt was involved in a pace-fight and gave way turning for home. Price play has worked well since and trainer Charlton Baker will remove his blinkers for today's attempt. Has a great shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #6 (Token Sacrifice) - He finished a close-up fourth here at this level and distance Nov. 10 in his first start off a trainer switch to Rudy Rodriguez. Blinkers are added today and Prado stays put.
3rd pick: #3 (Sully's Landing) - Heavily backed in his debut this colt had a poor getaway, but ran well to finish a close-up third. Working fast since and his trainer (Dom Galluscio) wins at a 22% rate second time out.
4th pick: #8 (So Scott) - He hasn't run since May 12, but has talent and was the favorite in all thrre of his starts back then. Training steadily and his trainer (Mike Hushion) is off to a fast start in this inner-dirt meet.
