Top pick: #4 (SPLENDID APPEAL) - Speedy gelding won a starter-allowance at Penn National on April 16 in his first start for trainer Cody Autry. Freshened-up since, he's working fast locally and is nicely spotted today to pick up another win. The pick.
2nd pick: #6 (Rough Shod Heir) - He rallied late at this level and distance last out to just "nip" the fourth pick here for the place spot. Stalker is drawn outside of the other major players and should have a clear shot turning for home.
3rd pick: #1 (Beam Me Up) - Drops and cuts-back in distance in his start try at this 3l condition. Won at this tag and distance two back and he brings good stalking ability to the contest. Rail draw is a plus.
