Top pick: #8 (CONCORDE'S DANCE) - Daughter of "Concorde's Tune" returns this afternoon from an eight-month layoff. She showed good speed in all three races last year facing special weights and is working fast for her come-backer. Goes in a claimer for the first time and can win this fresh "off the bench."
2nd pick: #1 (Dutch Treat) - Debuting daughter of "Buddha" is in a good barn (Chad Brown) and is working sharply for her first race. Prepared in Florida where she had some fast drills, she's continued to work well since shipping north. Win cnadidate first time out.
3rd pick: #2 (First To Come Home) - She's improving and finished second last out in a maiden special contest that had a very small field (5). Drops into a claimer for the first time and is an obvious threat.
