Top pick: #7 (TROUBLE OUTBACK) - Well-bred and lightly raced he finished third last out after chasing the pace in his first vs. winners and will drop from $10,000 down to $5K this afternoon. Can win this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #6 (Watch Tower) - He broke his maiden last out in wire-to-wire fashion and the fractions he set were solid. Has the best early speed and is the likely winner if the top pick fails.
3rd pick: #8 (Big Smooth) - Latest, a second-place finish at this level and distance, was his best in a while. Has a good post to track from and he's a late threat to the top pair.
