Top pick: #4 (DASHING MAX) - Lightly-raced gelding stretches out in distance and will have blinkers added this afternoon. He's raced well in his first pair sprinting and continues to do good work in the A.M. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Silver Goblin ) - Finished second to a runaway winner last out here at this level and distance. Race was his first around two turns and he was involved in a pace duel from the start. Colt stayed on until mid-stretch and held gamely for the place. Contender.
3rd pick: #2 (Bona Fide ) - Finished a solid second last out to the best winner and this colt showed much improved early interest in that contest. He'll need to sit in this spot and try to make one run. Exotics factor.
