Top pick: #1 (SEAVIEW) - Draws the rail and is coming off a very sharp pace-pressing second-place finish last out in his first start ever on real dirt. Effort looks even better when the winner won a stakes next out at Delta Downs. Takes this from on or just off the top.
2nd pick: #5 (Cliff Meadows) - Won an allowance race at Delaware two back in his first start of '08, then followed that up with a poor race next out. In a winning barn (Steve Klesaris) and think he'll rebound today.
3rd pick: #7 (Evade) - Lightly raced, talented, fresh, and in a good barn (Al Stall). Competitive on both dirt and "poly" and trainer has him in a spot where he's a player.
