Top pick: #2 (MEADOW ROAD) - Claimed last July by Dan Hendricks for $50K, colt was sent in for a 7 month rest and has gone (4-1-3-0) since returning. Last out he rallied to finish 2nd to a "much the best" winner racing in a $25K 2l claimer and is nicely spotted by the barn in this starter-allowance.
2nd pick: #3 (Grumpy Small Mouth) - Speedy and lightly raced gelding ran a career best when finishing 2nd here at this level on May 18th. Effort came 2nd back off a 9 month layoff and he had a fine half-mile work here just4 days ago.
