Top pick: #2 (ADGER) - Lightly raced, drops a level, and gets blinkers on from the Asmussen barn. Looks ready for his best and should win this from just off the pace.
2nd pick: #9 (Peace Rumor) - Lightly raced and he finished a pace-chasing second last out at this level and distance. Race was off a seven-week break and he should offer his best today.
3rd pick: #5 (Chadwell) - Working fast for the dangerous Tom Amoss barn as he makes only his second start since April of '08. Races in a career soft spot so we'll assume he's ready to win as he's a runner who'll probably be claimed.
