Top pick: #3 (GRAND CASH) - Colt has shown tremendous improvement since moving to the grass three starts back. Two of those have been wins, and he may have beaten better in his most recent than he faces today. The choice.
2nd pick: #2 (Mr. Dr. Professor) - Goes dirt to turf for a trainer (Ken McPeek) who is sharp at that move and who has been hot since the start of this meet (34%). Contender.
3rd pick: #6 (Spicy Dubai) - Tries winners and the turf, both for the first time. Bred for grass success and he's in a solid barn (Mike Matz).
4th pick: #11 (Cheeks Malone) - Colt returns from a layoff and will run for a new trainer (Brian Pritchard)who always does well with his small barn.
