Top pick: #6 (VOLATILE MARKETS) (6-1) - Price play finished 2nd here at this level and distance when debuting in early Oct. He was very wide in his first back off a 5 month break in early March, but is training fast for this attempt. Can cause a mild upset.
2nd pick: #7 (Seventy Six) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he's finished 2nd in three straight at this level and distance and has a sharp work on the 19th for this assignment. Obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Ultimate Empire) (5-1) - Colt raced evenly last out at this level on the grass after finishing 3rd in his previous start at this distance on the dirt. Fits, draws a nice outside post, and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #5 (Fiona's Hero) (5-1) - Home-bred gelding has run well in both starts but was no match for "Seventy Six" when they met on March 30th. He was very wide that day from a tough outside post and this one turn (or "flat" mile ) distance makes him a threat.
