Top pick: #5 (DISTORTED ECONOMY ) - Home-bred is beginning to get better and that's what patient trainer Neil Drysdale likes them to do (improve with racing). Son of "Distorted Humor" has done just that in each start and looks set for the maiden win.
2nd pick: #4 (Juniper Pass) - Son of "Lemon Drop Kid" finished a rallying second last out at this level and distance and it came off almost a two month freshening. Obvious contender.
3rd pick: #3 (Milyone) - He's now 5 1/2 years old and hasn't cracked the exacta in a dozen starts. He does have reliable early speed in a race without much pace on paper and is working well for his first race in seven weeks. Dangerous on the front-end.
