Top pick: #6 (PRIVATE TALE) (3-1) - He's shipping back from Philly Park where he raced poorly in a pair facing better. Trainer Dave Jacobson drops him to a new low and he's racing third back off a long layoff. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Love to Run) (5-2) - Speedy sort is cutting back in distance after tiring last out going longer. Competitive in six straight prior to that, he's won at this distance in the past and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Solly's Mischief) (6-1) - Another cutting back in distance, he has a fine record at this trip 5-1-2-1. In a hot barn (Gary Gullo) and this gelding is in the win mix.
4th pick: #9 (Reggie D) (7-2) - Speedy sort drops back down to his comfort level after an even effort last out facing tougher. Fits, but his local record is poor 9-0-1-1.
