Top pick: #1 (D'ARGENTO) - Much improved last out when he was dropped in his third back off a long layoff and switched back to the main track. In a winning barn ("Chip" Dutrow) and ready to roll at this mile trip.
2nd pick: #8 (Virtues Under Fire) - Has the best early speed, stretches-out in distance, and has a nice post for the distance. Contender.
3rd pick: #3 (Slight Fever) - He made a strong move turning for home last out but had to settle for third. He's at the right price and distance and is an exotics factor.
4th pick: #4 (Runweiser) - He took some money when debuting last out and rallied late to nip "Fever" for the place spot. He had trouble at the start that day and can contend with a "clean" break.
