Top pick: #3 (CLIENT EIGHT) - Goes 3rd off a layoff and drops into a maiden-claimer for the first time for the hot Mike Hushion barn. He had a bit of a "troubled" trip in his most recent, so his trainer adds blinkers this afternoon in an attempt to put more speed into him.
2nd pick: #7 (Coach Fruscio) - Over-matched in a stakes last out which was run in the slop. Bruce Levine trained colt finished a rallying 3rd in his previous race (which was his debut). Working well for this, he comes into this off of a two month layoff.
3rd pick: #5 (Offensive Attack) - Has good speed, drops in class, and gets the addition of blinkers for this. He finished behind the top choice in his lastest after tiring in the mud.
