Top pick: #12 (TO TELL THE TRUTH) - Speed/stalker makes his first start in 4 1/2 months and also will be racing for trainer Bill Badgett for the first time. Much improved this year over last (4-2-2-0) and he's working fine for his come-backer. The top choice in a good betting race.
2nd pick: #10 (Persian) - Consistent runeer moves from turf to the dirt and he's proven about equal on both. In-shape and in the Richard Dutrow barn, he's a strong win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Rip Rap) - Drops, goes turf to dirt, shortens-up in distance, and runs third back off a layoff. Price use from a very good barn (Bruce Levine).
4th pick: #3 (Admiralty) - Colt did not break sharp laast out at Delaware and in his previous start drew the talented "Girolamo". Possible exotics factor at a big price.
