Top pick: #6 (TROOP SUPPORT) - Takes a big drop today off his debut for one of the best 2nd out barns in the business (Steve Asmussen 24%). Showed some good early speed on the turf racing for $65K and will drop to $25,000 and move to the dirt. Dominguez takes over and he wins at a 38% rate when riding for Asmussen. The top pick.
2nd pick: #4 (Hardshell) - Also showed some speed first out and it was in a special weight contest. Trainer Tim Ice drops him into a claimer and gelding looks set for a top effort.
3rd pick: #3 (Black Market Money) - Monmouth invader drops and two back finished 2nd on a "sloppy" track ( which could be the case today). Stretch threat.
