Top pick: #3 (LATIN SCHOLAR) - Gelding drops down in price and races back with his own age group after tackling older runners last out. Also, trainer Ellen Jackson replaces a 7lb.apprentice with veteran Barrington Harvey who's been aboard for this runner's best races. The top pick.
2nd pick: #6 (The Tour Director) - Probable favorite has finished 3rd in his last pair, both at this level and distance. Wide in both of those he's a win candidate today.
3rd pick: #8 (Deem) - Drops, stretches-out in distance, goes "poly" to turf, and Russel Baze is enlisted. Bred to handle the grass and a serious looking rival.
