Top pick: #8 (MR. SERIOUS) - Finished second last out off a layoff for the "red hot" Mike Maker barn. Start was also the first off a claim and he'll be very tough to beat today.
2nd pick: #9 (Gandolph Finch) - Finished fourth in his last which came on the Keeneland "poly". Race was his first off a two-month layoff and his price is "halved" for today's contest. Win contender.
3rd pick: #7 (Please Include Me) - Runner was claimed by Dale Romans in the fall of '07 for $50K and has been a bust to date. Comes back off a four-month vacation and will do so for a fraction of what they paid for him. Tough if ready to race.
