Top pick: #6 (OPEN SPACE) - Son of "Empire Maker" drops and stretches back out this afternoon after a troubled trip in the slop at Philly Park last out. Has speed/stalking ability and his best race came going a route (like today).
2nd pick: #2 (Trippedoutofadream) - The main speed should have little trouble securing the rail going into the first turn and that's been the place to be in two-turn contests early in this meet. Threat on the front-end.
3rd pick: #4 (Buckport) - Drops, runs off a seven-week break, and will try real dirt for the first time. Son of "Toccet" is also with a new trainer (Rick Valentine). Lots of positives.
