Top pick: #4 (CARD PLAYER) - One of a pair of runners from the barn of Steve Asmussen and they'll race uncoupled and both have an excellent chance at winning. This runner takes a big drop in class and wil be trying conventional dirt for the first time. Stable rider Bridgmohan winds up on this entratn and he's the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #3 (Warshaw) - The second of the Asmussen pair goes third off a rest and has shown enough ability against tougher so that he is a strong win threat. Likes to race just off the lead and he can win from that spot today if his barn-mate isn't up to the task.
