Top pick: #5 (EXLEY) - Son of "Offocer" has by far the best early speed of this group and ships in from Finger Lakes where he was facing tougher. Rcaes first off a trainer change to Scott Lake and will be very tough to beat on the front-end.
2nd pick: #7 (Brassy Boy) - The probable favorite runs for the high-percentage barn of Steve Hobby (20 of 81 locally) and this gelding missed by a head last out under these conditions. Consistent performer has enough speed to stay withing range and has an excellent shot at running "Brassy" down in the stretch.
3rd pick: #8 (Dukes Flying Tiger) - He has more lifetime wins than anyone else (8) and is working sharply for his first race since April 30. In a good barn (Hugh McMahon) and one-run type would benefit from some type of pace duel/and or collapse.
