Top pick: #1 (MY FRIEND SANDY) - New York shipper raced evenly in his starts at Aqueduct and is sent here by trainer Scott Schwartz to the barn of Ralph D'Alessandro in an attempt to break his maiden. Has a pair of excellent drills since coming here and can win this at a bit of a price.
2nd pick: #6 (Wana Play) - Logical contender and the probable favorite has many solid speed/stalking tries on his resume and arrives here in-shape from Tampa Bay Downs. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Arlene's Pride) - Dangerous first-timer is working "bullets" and is in the barn of a crafty veteran trainer (Karl Grusmark). Home-bred looks all set for his debut.
