Top pick: #7 (LOGIC WAY) - Appeared the combination of facing "better" stock and a soft turf course conspired to do him in last out. Level, distance, and post are all fine today. Prado, who had "other" options, winds up here. A firm course may be all he needs.
2nd pick: #8 (Big Jerome) - Very impressive win last out in a starter allowance at this distance. Tracked from close range, bid turning for home and drew clear late. Veteran likes this course (4-3-1-0), but Prado abandons for the top pick. Win contender nontheless.
3rd pick: #1 (Baletti) - Had good position last out but could not muster a late rally. He's improve significantly since a trainer switch to Angel Penn Jr. and he's a player here.
