Top pick: #6 (RAIL TRIP) - Lightly raced but immensely talented he loves this surface (5-3-2-0) and he has a flexible running style that should lead to the win in a race he was upset in last year. He can make it to the winner's circle today.
2nd pick: #1 (Dakota Phone) - Returns from Oaklawn where he tired after forcing a quick pace in a G2 stakes on conventional dirt. Training well since and this professional "poly" veteran draws the rail. Has a shot at the top if the choice is sub-par.
3rd pick: #4 (Cigar Man) - Longshot has a one-run style and is capable of hitting the exotics at a square price.
