Top pick: #8 (GRAY BLACK N WHITE) - Veteran was claimed two back by the powerful Jeff Mullin's operation. He raced him against tougher on the turf last out and he pressed a fast pace before tiring late. Moves back to "cushion-track" where he raced well last spring and also drops back to the claimed level. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Moves Like a Cat) - Lightly raced and speedy, colt draws the rail for his 3rd start back off a 2 month layoff. Very fast early and the inside has been good at this meet. Must be caught.
3rd pick: #9 (Held Up) - Stalker has been very consistent anytime he's run around this tag. Owns a fine local slate (4-2-1-1) and he should get a fast/contested pace to rally into.
