Top pick: #1 (BODYSHOTS) - Gelding ships down from New York for the Todd Pletcher barn. He has some speed/stalking ability, draws the rail and drops into a career soft spot. Very tough to beat with a clean break.
2nd pick: #9 (Deputy Wanted) - Drops, stretches-out in distance, and returns from a two-month break, all strong categories for his trainer (Mike Pino). Working well for this attempt, he's a win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Edge Appeal) - Takes a big drop this afternoon, gets a new trainer (Ron Moquette) and he'll add blinkers to this colt's equipment. Runner has "stumbled" badly in both his starts and has been well-beaten each time.
