Top pick: #11 (BOOK OF OZ) - Colt showed good speed in his debut for the Dale Roman's barn and held gamely to finish third. Working sharply since and he draws a nice outside post at this seven-furlong distance. Breaks his maiden with a "clean" trip.
2nd pick: #9 (Old Ninety Eight) - Another from the Roman's barn, and they'll race uncoupled. Son of "Storm Cat" is coming off a layoff and raced well in his last start before the break. He has a series of four strong works for his return.
3rd pick: #8 (Clandestine Fury) - Colt raced well here in the fall of '07 and has been laid-up since this past March. In a fine barn (Helen Pitts) and she can have them sharp off of rests. Contender.
