Top pick: #2 (BERTRAN HILL) - Has the best early speed and just missed two back at this level on real dirt. He should have little trouble securing the rail and is the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #6 (Southern Victory) - Lightly raced, he'll drop for this and will also be trying conventional dirt for the first time. Has good speed and is in a top outfit (Doug O'Neill). Strong factor.
