Top pick: #6 (CURVE BALL) (7-5) - The probable favorite, he's one of two entered by trainer Dom Galluscio and the pair race uncoupled. This lightly-raced and speedy colt drops to a new low in his first race since Sept. 21. He's training well and has shown fine early aspeed in a pair here in the past.
2nd pick: #7 (Awesome Bid) (5-1) - Long time maiden has been competitive in his last pair and stalker has a bullet 3-furlong work here five days ago. The faster the pace, the better his chances.
3rd pick: #4 (Change At Jamaica) (10-1) - Lightly-raced colt goes turf to dirt, drops slightly, and shortens up in distance. Longshot could grab a share with a patient ride.
4th pick: #8 (Velocci) (8-1) - The second of the Galluscio runner, he's cutting back in distance after tiring going a mile at Aqueduct on April 17th. He set a pressured pace that afternoon and will be making back-to-back starts for the first time if he doesn't scratch.
