Top pick: #6 (WORKINTHRAILROAD) - Ran a strong 2nd last out going 9 furlongs, but was beaten by a classier returnee who ran a big race off a long layoff. He's worked sharply since, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Masterwork) - Claimed away from the Richard Dutrow barn by Luis Olivares for $10,000. It's not easy to improve runners from that barn, but his post and speed give him a solid shot, as new trainer doubles him up in price.
3rd pick: #4 (Southern Terminus) - Tired after chasing the pace against tougher last out in his 2nd back off almost a 9 month layoff. Drops, and shortens-up a furlong, for his 3rd back off the long break.
