Top pick: #3 (METAURUS) - The probable favorite ships here from New York where he was competitive in three of his four starts and races today fresh off a claim by trainer Chris Englehart (a 32% winning angle). Gelding by "Flatter' will be very tough to beat in a weak field.
2nd pick: #2 (Brave Willy B) - Son of "Chief Seattle" is bred to win early and his trainer (Paul Barrow) at one time here was pretty solid first-time-out. Works are fine and he has a near bullet 3-furlong breeze a month ago. Expecting him to be involved from start-to-finish.
