Top pick: #3 (TRUELEE SCRAPPIN) - Claimed two back by Chris Englehart for $50K, colt came back nine days later and finished a solid third at this allowance condition in his first for the new barn. Effort was his best aver and he's brough back on short notice again (13 days). The top choice, he's one of two entered here by Englehart, and they'll race as separate betting interests.
2nd pick: #2 (Lubango) - The second of the Englehart pair, he's (3-2-1-0) since a trainer change and has won his last pair here in impressive fashion. Has good early speed, but with the outside runner intent on the lead he has a stalking gear to utilize. Comes off his best ever and is a win candidate again this afternoon.
